Title: Rare Breed sale Inverurie 5th September
Post by: Rosemary on September 02, 2009, 12:59:06 pm: The catalogue for the above sale is now on Aberdeen and Northend Marts website.

Disappointingly, only one coloured Ryeland, so I won't be going north for this one.

They have a good selection of Jacobs too!

Fingers crossed that the Stirling sale on the 26th is as good!!

Post by: doganjo on September 03, 2009, 02:18:09 pm: You could have sheep, plenty of room - you could have them sheared and make money on the fleeces

Post by: ukag0972 on September 04, 2009, 06:35:44 pm: I'm rethinking my plan!!

The water seems to be staying put and causing road problems. Really long journey if it's wet and flooded!!

Is anyone going??

Post by: doganjo on September 04, 2009, 06:46:53 pm: Not me, I'll hopefully be able to get to Bridge of Allan (sorry, Linz - NOT Dunblane - will text you)

Post by: ukag0972 on September 05, 2009, 02:37:50 pm: I phoned them looking to see what the Mangalitzas made as there was no way I was going to risk travelling. She said it was really busy and the pigs only made £30 each!!!

SHOCKING!!!

I'm assuming they were not pedigree and possibly not pure!

How can anyone make money at that low price?

Oh well, the hunt continues!!
Title: Re: Rare Breed sale Inverurie 5th September
Post by: sabrina on September 08, 2009, 04:54:41 pm: I went and the Mangalitzas did indeed seem to be pure bred. Prices were very low for everything. We were going to buy ducks but gave up waiting for them to come up.
