Livestock auction hero banner

The auction calendar kicks off on Dec 21 with two high‑profile sales. Joplin Regional Stockyards hosts a Cow and Bull Special, while Roswell Livestock Auction runs its next cattle sale, drawing regional buyers eager for fresh market inventory. The following day, Elgin Livestock wraps up the year with a Clean‑Up sale of weigh cows and bulls, offering a final chance to move year‑old stock before the new cycle begins.

Dec 23 sees a double‑header of specialty livestock. Hexham and Northern Marts present a Cast Ewes and Prime Lambs sale, highlighting premium breeding stock for the spring lamb market. Later that afternoon, BigIron Auctions adds a Holiday Bred Cow & Heifer Special, giving producers a festive outlet for premium breeding females.

Mid‑week activity continues on Dec 24 as Windsor Livestock Auction holds its regular Wednesday cattle market, maintaining a steady flow of feeder and mature animals despite the holiday season. The next day, Maryville Livestock Auction runs its Dec 25 schedule, starting with slaughter cows and bulls, moving to bred cows and pairs, and finishing with stockers and feeders, providing a full‑spectrum offering for meat and breeding operations.

The weekend closes with two combined calf and sheep sales on Dec 29. Both West Point Livestock Market and Market Drayton Livestock Market open early, first auctioning sheep at 8 a.m. and then calves at 10 a.m., delivering a mixed‑species lot that appeals to diversified producers.

Looking ahead into 2026, a wave of new opportunities emerges. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo will integrate a series of livestock auctions into its 2026 program, supporting Texas youth and regional producers. Philip Livestock Market plans a Special Feeder Cattle Sale followed by a Regular Cattle Sale and a Special Stock Cow & Bred Heifer Sale, signaling a focus on both growth and breeding segments. Leek Livestock Market lines up a suite of Store & Breeding sales—cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep—catering to year‑round demand. Hexham and Northern Marts schedule a New Year Sale of Store Cattle, Cast Sheep, and Store Hoggs, while Bowman Livestock Marketing announces a New Year Feeder Cattle Special.

Across these events, trends are clear: a strong emphasis on breeding stock (cows, heifers, ewes, lambs), a steady flow of feeder and market‑ready animals, and a seasonal push to clear year‑old inventory before spring. Buyers and sellers alike are leveraging the packed winter schedule to position themselves for the upcoming breeding and grazing seasons.
