Sheep auction hero banner

The sheep market kicks off today with a packed schedule of sales. At Harrison & Hetherington’s Borderway Mart, the Cast Sheep auction runs alongside prime cattle, offering a mix of mature ewes and rams for immediate purchase. Lawrie & Symington follows suit, presenting its Weekly Sale of Prime Sheep, where top‑quality breeding ewes and rams are highlighted for producers seeking to improve herd genetics.

Tomorrow’s lineup expands to include both prime and store lambs. Hexham and Northern Marts opens with a primestock sale featuring prime lambs, ewes, and rams, while Keady Livestock Market adds a midday sheep block to its beef ring, giving buyers a chance to acquire both market and breeding stock in a single session. Hobbs Parker Auctioneers also schedules a Finished and Store Sheep segment, showcasing cull ewes and finished lambs ready for processing.

On the 16th, Melton Mowbray Market runs its all‑day weekly sheep sales, providing a broad selection from market lambs to breeding ewes. Bentham Auction Mart’s weekly sale includes a cast sheep offering at 2:30 p.m., reinforcing the region’s focus on younger, lighter‑weight animals for upcoming lambing seasons.

The 17th sees South East Marts and Western Livestock Auction both featuring prime sheep alongside other livestock, underscoring a trend toward high‑grade breeding animals as farms prepare for the new year.

By the 19th, Maryville Livestock Auction hosts its monthly sheep and goat sale, while the same day at Cattlemens Livestock Auction in New Mexico includes a diverse cattle lineup but also offers a modest selection of sheep, reflecting a broader market appetite for mixed‑species barns.

Overall, the upcoming week highlights a clear shift toward premium breeding stock—prime ewes, rams, and store lambs—while still accommodating market‑ready lambs for immediate processing. Regional auctions are balancing traditional market lamb offerings with a growing emphasis on genetic improvement, signaling a robust and adaptable sheep market heading into the new year.
