Melton Mowbray Market @MeltonLivestock
WEEKLY SHEEP SALE on December 30, 2025. WEEKLY SHEEP SALE on January 6, 2026. WEEKLY CATTLE SALE on January 7, 2026. PIG SALE on January 7, 2026.
The upcoming pig auction calendar shows a clear uptick in dedicated pig sales as the 2026 season approaches. The earliest event on the schedule is the Store & Breeding Pigs Sale, slated for 2026 at 10:30 am at Leek Auctions Ltd in Staffordshire. This sale is part of a clustered livestock day that also includes cattle, sheep and goat offerings, but the pig segment is highlighted with its own time slot, underscoring a growing focus on pig-specific inventory.
Following that, a broader Pig Sale is listed for 2026 without a precise date, indicating that organizers are planning additional stand‑alone pig events later in the year. While the exact timing remains undisclosed, the inclusion of a separate pig‑only auction suggests that sellers are responding to heightened demand for breeding and market pigs, and are carving out dedicated market windows rather than bundling them with other livestock.
Industry observers note that these pig‑centric auctions are increasingly leveraging both live and online platforms, allowing buyers from regional farms to participate without traveling to the auction floor. The trend mirrors a wider shift toward digital bidding tools, which streamline price discovery and broaden the pool of potential purchasers.
Overall, the 2026 agenda reflects a strategic emphasis on pig sales, with organizers allocating distinct time slots and standalone events to meet farmer needs. As the season unfolds, participants can expect more targeted marketing, enhanced online access, and a competitive environment that could drive up prices for high‑quality breeding stock.
