Calves Take Center Stage in Upcoming Livestock Auctions

The first calf-focused event on the calendar arrives on December 22, when West Point Livestock Auction runs a Pre‑Condition Feeders sale that highlights calves meeting strict vaccination, weaning and health protocols. Just a week later, Market Drayton Livestock Market opens its Calf and Sheep Sale on December 29, with the calf portion slated for the mid‑morning, offering producers a chance to move young stock before the holiday break. That same day West Point continues its weekly schedule with a Special auction that again features pre‑conditioned calves alongside other feeder cattle.

Beyond these dated sales, a wave of regular auctions across North America and the UK keeps calves in constant rotation. Middleburg Livestock Auction in Pennsylvania runs a Tuesday market where, after hay and grain, the livestock segment kicks off at 1:30 p.m. with a steady flow of pigs, feeder cattle, goats, lambs and, prominently, calves. Bentham Auction Mart in England holds weekly Wednesday sales at 11 a.m. that showcase rearing calves and weanlings, while its fortnightly Wednesday sessions add newly‑calved and in‑calf dairy calves to the mix.

Foothills Auctioneers in the United States resumes its 2026 regular sales each morning, listing calves alongside yearlings, cows and bulls, and repeats the format throughout the year. Edinburg Livestock Auction also returns in 2026 with a broad inventory that includes calves among other livestock. Cattlemens Livestock Auction in New Mexico schedules 2026 sales featuring both weaned and unweaned calves, and Emporia Livestock Sales in Kansas continues its weekly Wednesday auctions with farm‑fresh calves and feeder cattle.

Keady Livestock Market’s first Tuesday sale of 2026 will present dollar calves among a mixed roster, while Central Livestock Association’s Albany Tuesday cattle sales regularly list calves as part of fed and slaughter groups. Morgan Evans & Co maintains a busy Monday‑to‑Wednesday cadence that consistently offers calves and weanlings. Creighton Livestock Market’s Tuesday feeder calf auction and Greenville Livestock Auction’s weekly Wednesday lineup both keep calves at the forefront of their offerings. Finally, Lexington Livestock Market plans a series of special calf/feeder auctions, pairing butcher cows with young calves to meet diverse buyer needs. Across these venues, the trend is clear: calves remain a high‑demand commodity, with sellers emphasizing health‑certified, ready‑to‑grow stock and buyers seeking reliable supply for herd expansion.
