Sheep auction hero banner

The week of early November sees a flurry of sheep sales as auction houses across North America and the UK line up dedicated events. Kicking off on November 8, Western Livestock Auction, LLC in Montana hosts its End‑of‑Harvest Feeder Sale, where a mixed lot of sheep joins cattle and goats, giving buyers a chance to add fresh stock before winter. A day later, England’s Bentham Auction Mart in the North of England offers a two‑hour slot for Feeding and Cast Sheep at 2:30 p.m., followed by a broader spring lamb and prime hogs offering, highlighting the region’s emphasis on premium breeding stock. The same day, the historic Hexham and Northern Marts Primestock auction rolls out prime lambs, ewes and rams, while the following morning’s store‑cattle and cast‑sheep sale adds a special breeding‑sheep segment, underscoring the market’s focus on genetic quality.

On November 11, the weekly sheep round at Melton Mowbray Market begins its long‑standing Sheep Sales, drawing northern English producers to the traditional barn setting. Meanwhile, Petaluma Livestock Auction Yard in California continues its Thursday seasonal sheep sales, providing a regular outlet for both commercial and certified‑organic flocks. The following day, November 12, the Hexham market’s cast‑sheep and store‑lamb offering expands the mid‑week selection, while the same venue’s Primestock event earlier in the week already showcased top‑grade rams and ewes.

Mid‑month, the Maryville Livestock Auction in Missouri adds a dedicated sheep and goat session on November 14, giving local ranchers a focused market for breeding and finishing stock. That same day, Gulf Coast Livestock Auction in the Southwest runs a mixed‑livestock sale that again features a solid sheep component, reinforcing the animal’s demand across regions. The following day, November 15, Leek Livestock Market in England presents a Store & Breeding Sheep Sale, emphasizing pedigree ewes and rams for the upcoming breeding season.

The calendar peaks on November 19 with Hexham’s Scots Gap Prime Sheep Sale, a specialist event that draws buyers seeking top‑tier lambs and ewes for flock improvement. Closing the month, Melton Mowbray’s Winter Warmers on November 22 showcases Pedigree In‑Lamb Ewes, a premium offering that signals the start of the winter breeding cycle. Across these varied venues, the common thread is a robust appetite for quality sheep, with sellers highlighting breeding potential, lambing performance and organic credentials. Collectively, the schedule reflects a seasonal surge in demand, as producers position their flocks for the upcoming year’s market and the industry’s continued growth.
