Ooh, interesting. Have signed up for Pentalnd Livestock's newsletters.

I've never made it to one of the Couper Angus sales but hope to soon. THey always look like they have something for everyone

I found out about it with the add in todays Courier.
I thought it would be of interest to folk.

I think it's a sale at, rather than of. a smallholding, Bloomer.

Oh then even more exciting...

And therefore you can buy loads of stuff that "might" be useful in the future and could easily be stored under your bed until the 'future'.

I still have 3 broken chainsaws that I bought at such a sale when I was living in a flat in the centre of Aberdeen because I knew I might find a use for them in the future!

....and yes you can buy a whole load of cr&p for inflated prices.... on one of them I watched a guy bidding for feeding troughs for sheep and he ended up paying more than he would have for new ones down at the wood merchants...

I stopped going as it was a waste of half a day...

We might go - would be nice to meet other smallholders there. I hope when we retire lots of you smash open your piggy banks and come to our roup

that's a guide to some of what's for sale...

Not got anything to do with Smallholding BUT the Bill McLaren match day sheet would be a collectors item as would the pair of curling stones that have been played at 3 grand matches
That would mean that they were at Loch Leven in 1959 and Menteith in 1963 and 1979 which was the last Grand Match played outside.  Bring on a long cold winter!

Anyone want two wooden washboards with glass in front?  Never used   

Bought them at the outgoing roup when we bought our wee farm in Aberdeenshire in 1994 - tradition that the incomer buys stuff, so we went a wee bit daft. 

Great fun though and sometimes free drinks and eats.
