It's been one of the safest places until lately and there's been people traveling from birmingham to the showground for testing
brummies are like piles. If they come down and go back up they’re fine. If they come down and stay down they’re a pain in the arse.

Ponies are worth so little,a lot were sold for feeding lions at safari parks. Not all the show's fault

The south of the country still needs a new pedigree / ram centre like Carlisle with good road networks ,with keen dedicated auctioneers (like banbury used to be ) its a damn trek to Builth or even Hereford from anywhere .
those things evolve, you can’t force it.

For people that need a few different breeds in one year,the nsa still has a place. Three sales tomorrow,Hereford Brecon and llandovery. Toss a coin?

splits the trade though , Builth is a spectacle above all else and the attraction is the sheer number on offer . Its what makes the carlisle / kelso sale , many rings in operation at once

It does seem a bit difficult if you want to buy a charolais and a bfl, just a difficult year all round I suppose.

No of course not but what they demand for the use of the site is crazy and for the stallholders / show stands

I always raise an eyebrow when you see someone fetching two herdwicks ( or other very localized breeds from cumbria 300 miles to Builth and wondering why there's no demand. Mainstream breeds,fair enough.

I think there is ,but maybe we need to move away from the circus of poor function sheep it's become
let the market decide.
