Lodge and Thomas run Truro market on a Wednesday. No dairy.

For the bIggest one around here, you'll have to cross the border - just - into Devon. Up to Bude and turn right.
Holsworthy (new market) is Wednesday.
Holsworthy market is a good a reason as any to never let the council build ort as there's so much wasted space and far to little car parking. Why oh why did they not build the cafe in front of the sales doors for cattle and calves etc as there's loads of room between there and the road but instead they fenced the path side to give you a feeling of being in prison:banghead: . It's worth a trip to Sedgemoor to see how a market should be laid out(y)

What have those heifers made there today? My old man has had strict instructions to not let them go cheap. But he's never listened to me before so I doubt he has this time either
Never saw them sold , looked a nice bunch of heifers but I didn't know anything else about them , didn't stay to long as we had to drop our eldest son off at Newquay airport for flight back to Manchester . Would of liked to have seen them sold especially when I found out that a local cattle dealer to home had a wagon down here today after we had left the market.

Guys..we have farms here bigger than devon and cornwall combined...

Cornwall and devon is like sitting in the same car...one is on the left side one is on the right...

I travel 2700km for work each week...one way...like going from london to warsaw

So its therefore highly plausible that i did indeed hav a devon treat in cornwall!!

Ant...


Typical big headed foriegner. Relative visiting from the States once told me it took three days to drive round all his "ranch" I said " I know what you mean, I used to have a car like that!"

except for the acoustics , the pillars in the way outside the pay desk , the lack of water for dairy sales , and the cafe
