Not been to Melton rare breeds, but been to others, and its like any other sale, if two people want something, the price will go as far as they push it!!

I like Melton Mowbray (and the pies!) but think we have a horse show on that weekend.

Ill be there for sure. I always have had a nose around that sale but now it means so much more as I have my smallholding 

Im more interested in the Native Breeds National Show that weekend at Melton market rather than the rare breeds poultry sale. I shall be drooling over the Rylands 

The prices in Melton are usually cheaper than most other sales but bare in mind here that they are rare breeds and as such demand higher prices. You can look up past prices on the 'net from Melton market. http://www.meltonmowbraymarket.co.uk/

Take lots of money cos we in Melton have loads of other stalls and things to buy as its a really good market plus we have the town market to browse around, thats without saying about the pork pies or stilton. lol Most people who live in Melton buy the Walkers pork pies not Ye Olde Pork pie Shoppe pies, those are just for tourists!

I used to live in Leicestershire and in jobs covered Melton Mowbray as an area and always chose to be there on the Market day, so interesting and like a time warp to see all those Farmers.......Well worth a trip to Melton Market
