Producers Livestock Marketing Association's site is essentially a state-by-state directory of livestock auction yards, with listings spanning cattle, hogs, sheep and goats, and horse and mule sales, plus some dairy and poultry sales. Its headline content is a long guide to U.S. livestock auctions, which describes the sector as ranging "from traditional to high-tech" and aimed at farmers, ranchers, and enthusiasts buying or selling stock. Alongside the directory, the page carries a small "Recent Equipment" section listing used aerial work platforms from makers such as JLG, Snorkel, Genie, and Big Tex.

Cattle, Calves and Feeder Sales Fill Busy Livestock Auction Calendar
Upcoming livestock auctions run from late October into late November, with cattle, calves and sheep forming the core of the calendar. The earliest entries fall on Wednesday, October 28, when Carnew Mart stages an All Breed Pre-Sorted Calf Sale featuring Angus and Hereford at 9 AM. The same day, Abbotsford Stock Yards holds a Dairy & Feeder Auction from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm, and the yard says its Wednesday auctions run every week and close only in extreme circumstances.
Friday, October 30 is especially busy. Carnew Mart hosts a second pre-sorted calf sale, this one tied to a fundraiser for Rock Solid Refuge. Another house holds a Butcher & Feeder Sale at 9:00 am that will also include a full herd dispersal of 35 cross-bred cows around 10 am. The same afternoon, a Bred Cow & Heifer Sale at 1:00 pm offers 45 second-calving cows bred to Charolais bulls for April calving.
Early November brings more calf and feeder offerings. An All Breeds Presort Internet Calf Sale begins at 10:00 am on Monday, November 2, with a regular sale following that day. On November 4, a Sheep & Goat Sale at 1:00 pm is scheduled, while Rock Creek Livestock Market and Kist Livestock Auction both run feeder cattle sales that day. Kist's calendar also includes a calf special with a barbecue and an unloading window on Sunday, November 1, followed by Monday weigh-up sales. Zumbrota lists a feeder sale on November 5, with feeders also selling on Mondays at 1 PM.
The second half of the month continues the pattern. A Butcher & Feeder Sale is set for November 6 at 9:00 am, a Bred Cow & Heifer Sale for November 9 at 10:00 am, and another Butcher & Feeder Sale for November 13 at 9:00 am. Rock Creek's second feeder sale on November 18 runs alongside a cattle sale at 12:00 PM. The stretch closes on Saturday, November 21, when the Maitland Store Cattle Sale at 11 am offers steers, heifers, cows, calves, and PTIC cows and heifers.
Across these listings, several trends stand out. Feeder and butcher cattle dominate the schedule, while bred cow and heifer sales add breeding stock to the mix. Calf sales are increasingly linked to charitable causes, and many houses promote online bidding alongside ringside sales, with platforms such as MartEye and internet calf auctions widening access for buyers beyond the immediate area. Taken together, the calendar points to steady, weekly livestock trade through the autumn.
