The winter auction calendar is dominated by a surge of calves listings, beginning with the December 16 events. Keady Livestock Market wraps up its season with a final sale that features dollar calves alongside its usual mix of beef, pigs and goats. At the same time, Middleburg Livestock Auction in Pennsylvania slots calves into its afternoon lineup, while Creighton Livestock Market in the United States runs a dedicated feeder calves auction, offering roughly 150 Black and Baldy calves for buyers seeking immediate weight gains.

The following day, December 17, Emporia Livestock Sales in Kansas holds its weekly market, spotlighting farm‑fresh calves and feeders as the headline commodity. Across the border, Greenville Livestock Auction in the same region continues its regular Wednesday schedule, presenting baby calves among its broader livestock roster.

December 19 sees three notable sales. Foothills Auctioneers in Alberta closes out the year with a comprehensive sale that includes calves, yearlings, cows and bulls. Cattlemens Livestock Auction in New Mexico follows suit, listing both weaned and unweaned calves alongside yearlings and bred cows. Lexington Livestock Market adds a special calf and feeder auction, pairing butcher cows with a robust selection of calves and feeders for the market.

Mid‑month, December 22, the Market Drayton Livestock Market in England hosts a festive “Merry Christmas” auction, featuring calves and sheep as the centerpiece of its holiday offering. West Point Livestock Auction in the United States complements the season with a pre‑conditioned feeder calves auction, presenting weaned, vaccinated calves ready for immediate placement.

The calendar rounds out with a December 29 West Point weekly sale that again includes feeder calves among its mixed cattle offerings. Looking ahead into 2026, the trend continues with ongoing weekly events at Bentham Auction Mart, Edinburg Livestock Auction, Morgan Evans & Co, and Roswell Livestock Auction, all regularly showcasing rearing calves, feeder calves and pre‑conditioned calves. Collectively, these auctions underscore a clear market focus on calves across regions, reflecting strong demand for young stock to fuel the upcoming breeding and finishing seasons.
