I'm sorry ukag0972, I don't understand the question!   :dunce:

I thought you meant barn dance (which I spell ceilidh and pronounce kaley) but if you're selling Jacob lambs that'll not be what you meant!

Awaiting enlightenment...  :D

Caledonian Marts must have one of the worst websites around. It's just hellish.

And still no catalogue for Saturday  ::)

You can get the Hebridean sheep catalogue for Stirling on the HebWeb: www.hebrideansheep.org.uk - the link is on the first page.  As well as the rare breeds sale, it is the Hebridean Sheep Society Scottish Show and Sale, with the show on the Friday evening and the sale on the Sat am. 
The Caley Marts website is awful isn't it and in spite of telling them often enough they don't see a problem  ::)

Catalogue is on there web site. Lets face it they are not interested in these kind of sales as there is no money in it for them. They had a poultry and rare breed sale at Oban and moved it down to Stirling the poultry sale just stopped after a couple or so, are they really interrested ?
