Thainstone mart are having a new sale on the 19th, the week before Forfar's sale, so it will be interesting to see if that has any impact on the forfar event. It may be that birds bought at Thainstone will be offered for sale at Forfar.
Last May, at the horse sale and stallion parade at Forfar, there were some Irish folk there and they had a truck load of poultry which they'd bought at Thainstone the day before. If Forfar had had a poultry sale that day, I think some of these Thainstone birds may have been sold there. I was offered some, but they weren't for me.
I hope the Forfar sale goes well. It is a more central venue for a lot of people and, now that Perth no longer holds poultry sales, there could be a niche there.
