Are these sales, and other large numbered sales such as the one in Welshpool last Saturday likely to replace the Builth NSA in future? Will the change of venues to purpose built markets and the lower cost involved compared to moving hundreds of hurdles and operating tup taxis be the death knell of the NSA run events?
Thoughts please.
Thoughts please.
everybody is saying so.
So probably not.

The Welshpool multi-breed sale has been running for 3 years now, and I suspect was first put on to try to pinch some of the Builth trade. It was a good sale last year, and a flier (for sellers) this year too apparently.
Hereford early sale was to replace the first Builth sale but was a flop by all accounts. Terrible clearance rates and a lacklustre trade. This Saturday's sale at Hereford will have to work a lot better or they won't be likely to see much vendor support again.
The markets will be doing their best to make the sales work, as they won't want Builth & Kelso starting up again. I'm pretty sure Builth has only been breaking even financially for several years anyway, due to much lower numbers than in the past, so may have been on it's way out anyway. Rent at the showground would be a scary amount I would think.

Feedback ive had this year is people getting fed up with melting / infert rams from these big sales ,i asked one chap and he said time he's taken to drive to mid wales and then looked at what he bought next april just wasnt worth it ! personally never sold so many , or so early from home with minimal feed cost . only 10 or so left now , long may it continue .

I like builth but by feck there isn't much employment for a lot of houses.

In my short experience, buying tups from market seems to be a gamble at best, dad seems to have good luck, me - less so much, I'm not sure what irritates me more,

Presume Proberts Mortimer charollais have sold from home , as their not in cat for charollais tomorrow , usually have a big consignment of sturdy market topping rams .
Plenty of fresh air for the new era of working from home!how many people are that desperate to live in Builth?

You sure there is broadband up there?
yes, but Builth...All of the people buying “country” properties in this area still want to be five minutes tops from the M4/A48.
not during the show...

i haven’t spoken to them, but somebody said they, and another nearby flock, were doing something with McCartneys. I haven’t heard anything more, but I doubt they’d struggle to sell from home, as they do with a lot already.

The NSA hire the show ground for the ram sales, so I doubt if the RWAS is too concerned with the ram sales failing. It’s just another event that rents the ground to them.
Cob and welsh pony sales stopped and not because of covid, show pitches are to dear forcing people not to bother.
