The first wave of sales wraps up on September 26, 2025, as Foothills Auctioneers, Cattlemens Livestock Auction in New Mexico, Keady Livestock Market’s Special Grass Yearling Sale, and the Torrington Livestock Market’s all‑classes cattle sale all close on that day. Each event showcases a mix of feeder cattle, yearlings, and a modest number of goats and lambs, reflecting a strong demand for young stock across the Southwest.
The following day, September 27, sees a cluster of high‑profile closings: Harrison & Hetherington’s Irish Moiled Cattle auction, Windsor Livestock Auction’s weekly Wednesday sale, Eugene Livestock Auction’s early‑morning offering, Leek Livestock Market’s Breeding Ram Sale, and Brussels Livestock’s Bred Cow Sale. While the Irish Moiled auction focuses on premium beef breeds, the others emphasize a broader inventory—calves, feeder cattle, breeding rams, and mature cows—highlighting the region’s balanced market for both meat and breeding programs.
September 28 concludes the Best of Northern Cattle’s Cow County Classic, a three‑day showcase that draws northern producers seeking high‑quality genetics. By September 29, Bowman Livestock Marketing’s All‑Class Cattle Sale and Roswell Livestock Auction’s mixed‑breed cow and calf lot close, underscoring the continued appetite for diverse cattle mixes in the Plains.
September 30 marks a busy finale for several weekly and special events: Middleburg’s Tuesday market begins its seasonal schedule, Keady’s Beef Barn and Hog Barn Sale, Kingsville’s Feeder Cattle Sale, Melton Mowbray’s sheep market, Leek’s Dairy Commercial Sale, Cullman Stockyard’s family‑run cattle auction, and Philip Livestock Market’s Special All‑Breeds Calf & Yearling Sale. These auctions collectively illustrate a trend toward bundled sales—combining calves, feeder cattle, and dairy stock—to streamline buying decisions for producers.
Moving into October, the schedule expands with Torrington’s feeder‑calf auction on October 1, West Point’s Thursday sale on October 2, Foothills’ second regular sale on October 3, and a series of specialty influence sales (Simmental, Charolais, Angus & Hereford) hosted by Brussels throughout the month. The prevalence of online catalogs and video sales, noted by Foothills and Bowmans, signals a growing digital shift, allowing buyers nationwide to access regional livestock markets without traveling. Overall, the fall calendar reflects a robust, diversified livestock market, with steady demand for calves, feeder cattle, breeding stock, and specialty breeds across North America and the UK.
