In Texas, Kingsville’s QSA feeder cattle sale and Philip Livestock Market’s All‑Breeds calf, stock cow and bred heifer sale both debut on the same day, underscoring strong demand for both feeder and breeding stock.

The following day, December 17, sees a concentration of high‑profile sales.

Torrington Livestock Market’s feeder/calves special runs alongside Melton Mowbray’s weekly cattle and pig sales, illustrating the breadth of species moving through the market.

December 18 features Dillon Livestock Auction’s special feeder and bred cow sale, a clear indicator that breeders are positioning quality cows for the new year. The momentum continues on December 19, when Hexham’s store cattle, cast sheep and store lambs go under the hammer, and Torrington’s all‑classes cattle sale adds to the volume. Cattlemens Livestock Auction in New Mexico also contributes a diverse cattle lineup, from weaned calves to yearlings and bred cows.

The final wave on December 20 includes Waterhouse Realty’s Manchester livestock auction, Kingsville’s special cow and bull sale, and Leek’s store and breeding cattle sale. Philip’s Schaack Ranch maternal‑gems female sale rounds out the day, highlighting niche breeding opportunities. Across these events, the prevailing trends are a robust appetite for feeder cattle, a premium placed on bred cows and heifers, and a steady flow of lambs, sheep and pigs. Collectively, the schedule showcases a vibrant, regionally diverse livestock market poised to close the year on a high note.
