Steer Auctions Surge: Heavy Equipment and Cattle Hit Market
Steer auction hero banner

The next few weeks see a flurry of steer-focused auctions, ranging from heavy construction machines to live cattle sales. The earliest event, ending on December 30, 2025, is an online equipment auction that showcases a broad mix of skid steers, telehandlers, mini excavators and backhoes, plus over 200 unused attachments from brands such as Landhonor, Kylin and SDLanch. Bidders can preview items by appointment, and the sale is being run for creditors, lienholders and private consignors, underscoring a growing trend toward transparent, creditor‑driven disposals.

Following that, a private treaty sale on December 31, 2025 features additional equipment, while early January 2026 brings another round of machinery auctions in California and Germany. These later sales continue the emphasis on compact, versatile machines—particularly skid steers—that appeal to contractors seeking to upgrade fleets without large capital outlays.

Parallel to the equipment market, Cattlemens Livestock Auction in Belen, NM will host its next steer sale in 2026, offering weaned and unweaned calves, yearlings and bred cows. The livestock auction highlights a complementary demand for live steer, providing ranchers and dealers a seasonal outlet for herd adjustments.

Across the board, auctioneers are leveraging live‑online platforms to broaden participation, allowing bidders from multiple regions to compete in real time. The convergence of heavy‑duty skid steer listings and live steer sales illustrates a dual‑track market: one driven by construction and agricultural mechanization, the other by traditional livestock commerce. Buyers can expect continued inventory diversity, streamlined inspection processes and a steady flow of upcoming dates as auction houses align their calendars to meet both equipment and steer demand.
