Meanwhile, Western Livestock Auction’s final regular sale of the year also lists bulls among its lineup, reinforcing the seasonal push to move inventory before the holidays.

Dec 18 sees the Joplin Regional Stockyards in Missouri hold a Cow and Bull Special Sale, where a curated selection of mature bulls is paired with younger stock, appealing to both immediate meat market needs and longer‑term herd development. On Dec 19, Foothills Auctioneers returns with its last regular sale of 2025, again featuring a variety of bulls alongside calves and yearlings, highlighting the auction house’s commitment to maintaining a steady flow of bull availability throughout the week.
