Pursuant to a UCC foreclosure process, Tiger Group in cooperation with Barliant Auctions, is now accepting bids for a live online auction on March 5 for more than 200 units of well-maintained — as new as 2016 — rolling stock and farm equipment, including truck and farm tractors, poultry haulers, feed trailers, water trucks, pickup trucks and more. The assets were formerly owned by Zacky & Sons Poultry, LLC (dba Zacky Farms), which filed for bankruptcy November 13, 2018.
Tiger and Barliant Auctions will follow that with a separate, two-day live online auction commencing March 12 for Zacky Farms’ poultry processing operations, including slaughter, whole bird packaging, boning and hot dog processing facilities and associated real estate. In advance of the event, Tiger is accepting offers for complete facilities or large blocks of the manufacturing assets. Interested parties may also submit offers — inclusive of real estate — to be sold with the cooperation of the real property secured parties.
The auction for the rolling stock will get under way at 10:00 a.m. (PT) March 5 at www.SoldTiger.com. The assets may be previewed March 4 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (PT) at two Zacky Farms locations: 2222 S. East Ave., Fresno; and at 590 W. Kamm Ave. in Caruthers.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, the family owned Zacky Farms business traces its roots back to 1928, when Sam Zacky launched Sam’s Poultry Market. In 2012 the company filed for bankruptcy protection, but the Robert T. and Lillian D. Zacky Trust purchased the business at auction, enabling it to remain within the family. Successor company Zacky & Sons Poultry, LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on November 13, 2018 in the California Central Bankruptcy Court (Case Number 2:18bk23361).
