The two year anniversary sale marked the success of our joint dairy venture at Market Drayton, we have
been delighted by the support of all vendors and purchasers and we have developed a fantastic working
relationship with Barbers Auctions. We are really humbled by the support of our purchasers who have
continued to come to the sales week on week and it really has helped to create the buzzing atmosphere
that we have in our sale ring.
Since the start of our joint dairy venture we have seen over 3,500 animals pass through the weekly sales,
with more animals being sold in the form of dispersals.
For the anniversary sale we received an entry of just shy of 50 milking cows and with tremendous quality
and once again we would like to congratulate all of our vendors for supplying such good quality stock.
