The calf market is kicking into high gear as the year closes and 2026 approaches. The earliest deadline comes on December 29, when Huss Livestock Market LLC runs a Special Calf & Feeder Auction in Kearney, NE, offering roughly 340 Angus and BWF steers and OCV heifers in the 800‑1,000 pound range. That same day, a combined Calf & Sheep Sale opens at 10 a.m., giving buyers a focused window for young cattle after an early‑morning sheep round.
The next deadline arrives on December 30, where a weekly sheep sale is listed; while the headline is sheep, the event traditionally slots in feeder calf offerings alongside the flock, keeping the calf segment active through the weekend. By December 31, two key auctions conclude: Greenville Livestock Auction hosts its regular sale, and the broader Livestock & Hay Sale wraps up its end‑of‑year schedule. Both events feature calf lots, with Greenville’s auction historically drawing regional buyers for both feeder and rearing calves.
Looking ahead to 2026, the calendar fills with a series of feeder‑focused events. Weekly schedules at Bentham Auction Mart continue to showcase Rearing Calves & Weanlings every Wednesday at 11 a.m., followed by feeding rounds and spring lambs, reinforcing a steady supply pipeline. Additional specials are slated for the spring, including a Wednesday Feeder/Calf Special and a Monday Bred Cow Special, each designed to rotate inventory and attract niche buyers.
Beyond the local marts, larger platforms such as Stock & Land and Weyburn Livestock Exchange promise live and online auctions that blend traditional calf sales with digital bidding, expanding reach beyond regional borders. Kingsville Livestock Auction’s QSA Feeder Cattle Sale and a series of unnamed Special Calf/Feeder Auctions round out the 2026 lineup, indicating a clear trend toward more frequent, specialized calf offerings. Collectively, these events signal a robust and increasingly diversified calf market, with sellers leveraging both in‑person and virtual formats to meet growing demand.
