i've only a small holding, 21 ewe's at  the minute but hoping to take this up to 30 before the tup goes in.How many have you got?

not sure on bretton show all i know is its on the sat day, i would have thought its a run similar to meltham sheep fair as its the same auctioneer, i'll try and find out  today.
