The next two weeks will see a flurry of livestock sales across North America and the UK, beginning with a flurry of presort calf sales on October 20. In southern Alberta, Foothills Auctioneers will present about 1,800 premier ranch calves alongside green feed bales, while nearby Bowman Livestock Marketing runs a 10 a.m. weigh‑up and a Spring Calf Special. In the UK, Harrison & Hetherington’s Borderway Mart in Carlisle kicks off its End‑of‑Season Ram Fair, pairing prime cattle and bulls with a cast‑sheep sale. The same day, United Kingdom’s United Auctions will disperse its Over Bow Salers herd, and the Kelso Ram Sales will showcase 300 Texel lambs.
By the following day, October 21, the Keady Livestock Market opens its beef ring at 9 a.m., followed by a full‑line of pigs, goats and dollar calves at noon, while the Leek Livestock Market launches a dual‑sale of pedigree dairy cattle and a breeding ram lot. The very next day, October 22, sees a trio of regular sales: Foothills’ regular calf, yearling and cow auction; Windsor Livestock’s weekly Wednesday cattle auction; and Western Livestock’s regular sale, all featuring a mix of feeder cattle, store cows and breeding stock.
October 23 brings a busy schedule: Cattlemens Livestock in New Mexico offers baby calves, steers, heifers and bulls; Dillon Livestock runs a Bred Cow Special alongside an All‑Class Cattle sale; and the West Point market adds a Special All‑Class Feeder auction. The following day, October 24, the market in Kansas (Weyburn) holds a Presorted Charolais and All‑Breeds calf and yearling sale, while the same day the Kansas Livestock Contest in Makato showcases local cattle.
Mid‑month, October 25, sees the Best of Northern Cattle’s Fall Special Catalog Sale of horses and the Melton Mowbray Autumn Multibreed Cattle Sale, while the Eugene Livestock Auction offers a morning session of calves and yearlings. On October 27, Foothills runs another presort calf sale of over 2,000 head, and Bowman’s special Weigh‑Up and Bred Cow sale adds to the feedlot market.
Closing the month, October 31, the Torrington Livestock Market hosts its final all‑class cattle auction of the month, and the same day Foothills holds its regular sale. The early November window adds a series of feeder and bred‑cow specials at venues such as Kingsville (October 28) and the Kansas Livestock Contest (October 24). The calendar then moves to November 6, when the Scottish Highland Cattle Auction in Missouri will feature over 5,000 Highland cattle, and on December 6 the HHCA Fall Cattle Auction in Springfield, Missouri, will showcase a full spectrum of Highland breeds. Across the continent, the pattern is clear: weekly and special‑event sales are increasingly paired with online bidding, breed‑specific influence sales, and a growing emphasis on organic and certified‑organic cattle, reflecting both traditional market rhythms and modern, technology‑driven buying.
