Sheep auction hero banner

Starting on September 9, Keady Livestock Market in Ontario will host its weekly midday auction featuring a range of sheep. The same day, the Ballarat Sheep Market in Australia opens its Tuesday sale, offering a fresh lot of breeding and market‑ready sheep. Also on September 9, Melton Mowbray Market in England continues its weekly sheep sales, presenting both lambs and adult ewes for local buyers. September 10 brings two notable events. The Scots Gap Sale in Hexham showcases prime sheep, lambs and ewes, while Western Livestock Auction in the Gulf Coast region runs its regular feeder sale that includes a selection of sheep.

On September 12, three separate sales focus on specialized sheep. The Kelso Ram Sale in Hexham highlights high‑quality rams from Texel, Bluefaced Leicester and other breeds. Leek Livestock Market hosts a Multi‑Breed Sheep Show & Sale, bringing together Texel, Beltex, Dutch Spotted and other societies. Maryville Livestock Auction adds its monthly sheep sale, providing both breeding and market lambs. Mid‑month, Bowman Livestock Marketing’s Northern Livestock Video Fall Premier Sale on September 15 offers a video‑based platform for buyers to view and bid on a variety of sheep, emphasizing the growing role of digital auctions.

September 16’s Primestock Sale in Hexham includes prime lambs and ewes, while the following day’s Mule Gimmers Sale presents young female sheep (gimmers) for future breeding. September 18’s Hexham Mule Ewe Lamb Sale continues the focus on young ewes, and September 19 rounds out the week with two major gatherings: the Hexham sale featuring cast sheep and store lambs, and Melton Mowbray’s 5th Midlands Breeding Sheep Fair, both delivering a broad mix of breeding stock and market lambs.

Overall, the September schedule reflects a strong demand for both breeding and market sheep, a diversification of sale formats—from traditional live rings to video and online platforms—and a regional spread that gives producers multiple opportunities to buy and sell within a compact timeframe. The concentration of events in a two‑week window underscores a seasonal peak, while the inclusion of video‑based and timed online sales points to an accelerating shift toward technology‑driven market access.

Buyers are also seeking specific genetics, as seen in the dedicated ram and gimmer sales, indicating a continued emphasis on herd improvement. With auctions spanning North America, the United Kingdom and Australia, the market remains globally interconnected, offering producers a wide array of choices within a short period.
