Pig auction hero banner

Melton Mowbray Market is turning its attention to pig sales as the autumn calendar unfolds, with three distinct auctions slated before the year’s end. The first pig sale arrives on November 5, 2025, running from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This early‑season offering is positioned as a highlight of the market’s schedule, drawing breeders and buyers eager to secure quality stock before the winter months. A second round follows on November 19, 2025, repeating the full‑day format and reinforcing the market’s commitment to providing regular opportunities for the pig trade. The final pig auction in this series is set for November 22, 2025, again offering a full day of buying and selling activity.

These three events illustrate a clear trend toward more frequent, dedicated pig sales, complementing the market’s broader livestock programme. By clustering the pig auctions within a short span, Melton Mowbray creates a focused buying window that encourages participants to plan multiple visits, compare offerings, and make strategic purchases. The timing also aligns with seasonal breeding cycles, giving farmers a chance to acquire new stock ahead of the colder period.

Organisers have emphasized the convenience of the schedule, noting that each sale runs from morning until late afternoon, allowing ample time for inspections, negotiations, and final transactions. While the pig auctions are the centerpiece, they sit alongside other livestock sales that the market routinely hosts, ensuring a vibrant atmosphere for all participants. Prospective buyers are encouraged to check the market’s website for the latest updates, registration details, and any additional services such as transport or veterinary support. As the autumn weeks progress, the pig sales at Melton Mowbray are poised to become a focal point for the regional livestock community, offering a steady flow of quality animals and reinforcing the market’s reputation as a hub for agricultural commerce.
