Calves Flood Midwest Auctions as Winter Season Kicks Off
Calves auction hero banner

The first wave of winter sales begins on December 15, when Elgin Livestock in Nebraska opens its weekly Monday auction with a strong lineup of feeder calves alongside yearlings, weigh cows and bulls. That same day, West Point Livestock runs a Pre‑Condition Feeder sale featuring weaned and vaccinated calves, while Roswell Livestock in New Mexico rounds out the day with a final regular sale that includes ninety calves among its yearlings and light cattle.

The following day, December 16, sees a surge of calf‑focused offerings across the region. Bentham Auction Mart in northern England presents rearing calves and weanlings in its weekly sale, and the Middleburg Livestock Auction in Pennsylvania adds calves to a mixed livestock roster that also includes feeder cattle and goats. In Canada, Keady Livestock Market highlights "dollar calves" at noon, and Creighton Livestock Market in Nebraska runs a dedicated Feeder Calf auction featuring roughly 150 black and baldy calves weighing 450‑600 pounds.

December 17 continues the momentum with Emporia Livestock Sales in Kansas showcasing farm‑fresh calves and feeders, while Torrington Livestock Market in Wyoming hosts a Feeder/Calf Special that pairs feeder cattle with a sizable calf lot.

December 19 brings a second peak of calf activity. Cattlemens Livestock Auction in New Mexico offers both weaned and unweaned calves alongside yearlings and bred cows. Foothills Auctioneers in Alberta closes its year‑end sale with a mixed consignment that includes calves, yearlings, cows and bulls. Lexington Livestock Market in Kentucky runs a Special Calf/Feeder auction featuring a full slate of calves and feeder cattle, and Torrington rounds out the day with an all‑classes cattle sale that again puts calves in the spotlight.

Looking ahead to January, Elgin Livestock returns with a Feeder Cattle Special that emphasizes feeder calves, and West Point repeats its Pre‑Condition Feeder format, keeping vaccinated calves at the core of its early‑year offerings. Across these auctions, a clear trend emerges: winter markets are prioritizing feeder and farm‑fresh calves, leveraging online bidding platforms and weekly schedules to attract buyers seeking early‑season stock for feeding programs and herd replacements.
