Our family had it's first visit to a livestock auction today. How addictive!
We set off to Carlisle early this morning not knowing what to expect, and didn't leave until after 3pm.
A great day by all. :thumbsup:
OH is now addicted to the poultry despite not being particularly interested in the show scene, He kept disappearing back to the poultry section and auction room ::)
Big son was hooked on the coloured rylands, ( so glad we don't have land or the pressure would have been too much for him ) he has priced them in auction to save for his own flock WHEN we find somewhere :love:
Little un wanted to see everything at once and wanted to know why we couldn't buy everything :D
I'm soooo glad I insisted we didn't register for buying for our first ever visit :relief: I think we would have cleared the stalls and gone bankrupt all at once :roflanim: Still a great day out and all :excited: for the next one.

Sounds like you need to be looking for a large acreage, Mammyshaz, to put all the animals that your family is going to buy, on. ;D ;D

:roflanim: :roflanim: our life's path must be preset I've decided. Our inner souls are hunting down our destiny :-J We just need pointed towards that 120 acre farm going cheap enough for us to buy ;D ( or is it a lottery win we need :roflanim: ).

OH went to a sale in Inverness last year with a friend, so I though it was a safe day out
because she didn't have her own transport - WRONG! - She came back with two little
Booray lambs. They looked like cotton balls with legs. ;D

I love our smallholder's market. Trouble is, I can never come home empty handed ::)

That's it now Shaz, permanently broke and plotting where to put more animals..... :D
