1st sat in the month and sometimes the 3rd looking at the website?Stratford every Tuesday.
That brings me back. Every Wednesday when I was off school (and sometimes when i wasn’t meant to be) I would be at Hereford, get there early and sell a 100 in the first third of the sale and by a load of rubbish back in at the end to improve and sell a couple of weeks later. I thought I was the king of auctions when I was 15!Brecon, Hereford and llandielo hold poultry sales to name three i no of
Aye them was the days, i used to try and buy goats out of gloucester and be dragging them across the carpark to the trailer or lorry in my school hols. Hereford old chicken market was a lively place too, i sold ferreted rabbits in there once and they thought i had shot them because i wasnt strong enough to kill them with one blow All had to start somewhere.That brings me back.

Completely agree , it was a cheap/low risk education. You see young lads nowadays thrown in at the deep end buying stock , auctioneer usually shows them up and/ or fits them up and they have a bollocking when they get home and it puts them off for life.Sorry off topic. But nothing taught me more than my days in poultry markets. I taught me so much about selling stock and how sometimes you are better cutting your losses and just getting rid of them. It also taught me about money at a young age and how to be carful with it, also I had to pay for everything (I even gave my mum fuel money and the same wage as she got at work to take me) that was a great lesson that everything in life has to be paid for.

Twice a month and held in a fascinating reclamation yard. Also have house and shop clearance sales the same day on the site. Get there early.

Shame on you man, don't care how many you had, you should have done your best to eat the lot, stuffed marrow just can't be beaten.I have to say that your utilisation of ‘staff’ was inadequate. We had a huge earth banked slurry pit at home, which would be topped over occasionally, so the bank was extremely fertile and stayed damp.
every year I used to clear a patch in the muckweed and twitch to plant marrows. They’d grow like the clappers, with no feed or water needed, producing a huge crop in the Autumn.
Come the Autumn, my ‘staff’ (mum & dad) would take the crop to Gloucester market and put it in the produce auction for me while I was at school.
No growing costs and no labour costs, the perfect farming operation? Not sure it would be scalable though.

Well for sure, they sell bugger all else. Unless things have improved?Expect so, anything for a quid
