Title: Poultry sale in Forfar
Post by: wisebird on July 17, 2012, 08:32:09 pm
Hi folks I am assuming there will be a massive turnout for the sale in Forfar next Thursday. Early indicators show about 250 cages of birds plus 100 odd lots of sundry items. Heating and a new sound system have been installed in the strathmore hall. So it should be a good night.

I'm going for sure.

Come on folks, if only for the social aspect. If Dan gets his finger out we might have TAS T shirts  ;D

And you can check out the venue for the Scottish Smallholder and Grower Festival  :innocent:

Ok can u show me photos of the mature cockerel please? As you know I sold a RIR myself at Thainstone for £50 and he was not in any way related to yours so if you have one of the same qaulity I would be very interested in buying him to put back onto the siblings of the Cockeral I sold.  Cheers
