Does anybody know of any livestock auctions in Worcestershire/ West Midlands?

All I can find is a poultry auction at Henley In Arden but its on Wednesdays.

Could do with a weekend one!

Hi Lucy, depends what "livestock" you're after. Worcester has an auction market,I think its every other saturday, cattle and sheep.

If you're fairly new to keeping stock, I'd always suggest trying to find local breeders and buy direct from them. This gives you a handy back up source of information that you can call on should you have any problems. Sorry can't be of more help

Hi both

Sorry i wasn't clear enough - I just meant poultry auctions. Not cattle & sheep!

There are a number of bits and bobs we are looking for of various breeds and would love to go to a poultry auction in order to meet some traders and breeders who might be working with the same breeds as us.

We are off to the cirencester auction tomorrow, as a general rule of thumb, if you are buying go to the thursday auction and if you are selling put in for the saturday, the price reached is better!!
