Milano Livestock Exchange

05/06/2026

Today, we proudly celebrate 40 years of business as Milano Livestock Exchange! What began as a weekly livestock auction on May 6, 1986, and ran successfully for thirty years, selling more than 1.7 million head of cattle, became a different business model in 2016 as we welcomed the next generation, operating solely as a livestock dealership, buying cattle across Texas and the United States.

With hard work and strong relationships at our foundation, we operate as a family business, and truly appreciate our valued customers and cherished friends. We focus on involvement in state and national organizations to stay relevant within the business, keeping current with industry changes and policies.

As our next generation of the Lastovica and Marburger Families continues our business, we look forward to maintaining our legacy and commitment to our customers, and strive for excellence in the livestock industry.

Some memories just never lose their color-and that’s exactly how we feel about our littlest boss making sure we’ve always got trucks loaded the way they need to be. 🫶

While attending the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, our family had the pleasure of visiting with U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins and hearing her firsthand perspective on the challenges currently facing the cattle industry and agriculture as a whole, which impacts our businesses.

With Steven having served on several agricultural government boards and Bracken currently serving on an internal group for the Livestock Marketing Association focused on the impact of the New World Screwworm—it was especially meaningful for them to visit directly with Secretary Rollins on relevant issues our industry is navigating.

We admire the leadership she brings to agriculture, and are proud to have a fellow Aggie in such an important role! 🇺🇸

We are looking to hire someone with maintenance experience to assist us in daily work around our headquarters in Milano, Texas. Someone who has worked on a ranch before is preferred, as this role will also involve cattle working/handling; however, that is not a requirement.

This person will need to be responsible, honest, able to show up to work on time, be self-motivated, have the ability to pass a drug test, have a valid drivers license, have reliable transportation to work, and have good organizational skills.

Duties include: daily feeding of cattle, cattle working, able to operate heavy machinery (tractors, bobcat, etc) fence building, light dirt work, maintenance of water lines for water troughs, mowing/weedeating, and other duties that are associated with ranch work.

Full or part-time work is available. Pay and benefits are commensurate with experience and abilities. Call or text Bracken to inquire. If we are unable to reach the phone at the time of your call, it is imperative that you leave a voicemail. Please also state your name when sending a text.

Winter weather in Texas may slow things down a bit, but caring for livestock is first and foremost, no matter the conditions, and we appreciate our employees who are there to get the job done in every season!
