Title: Best markets for weaners in the east midlands / yorkshire?
Post by: karthomp on March 27, 2013, 01:00:31 pm

I'd rather buy privately but for information which cattle markets would you recommend to buy weaners in the east midlands / south yorkshire?

For Cattle Markets i'd look at either Melton Mowbray every Tuesday for the Stores or Newark on Saturdays for the Green Day

For weaners same market but every other Tuesday next one is Tuesday after Easter sale starts 9:30 and Newark if you are lucky on Wednesday sale about 10:30 ish but it's flexible.

There are other markets though .. but I don't know about them
