    Any of you going or have you ever bought there? Are prices out of the question for small commercial flocks?

    Sold there last year and will have 4 there this year. Good rams make good commercial money I find, no silly prices

    Won't be there but it'll be interesting to see the prices different breeds make.

    bought rams there last 2 years but not going this year, believe there's better value available by going directly to breeders or to breed society sales

    I think the sellers should have been happy with the day. Suffolk was my main interest today. They were so well manicured that it was not that easy to judge them. I would like to hear other peoples opinions but I did not think the bidding was in any way based on the rams figures. I also thought that there were very few suffolks with decent daughters milk figures

    I thought suffolks were too dear alright but that the rest were fair prices
