Coast and Country Auctions

Exeter 2 (1x7)

Yayınlanma tarihi: Mar 13, 2018

This edition focuses on Exeter Livestock Market - the biggest agricultural auction in the West Country, which on a busy day can sell nearly 4,000 animals. Sheep seller Stuart Crang is bringing 80 sheep to market, and with sheep rearing being seasonal, he has to make the most of his income in the next few months, so prices are vital. Buyer Roger Heggadon has to take care he does not pay too much. With nearly 2,000 sheep on his farm, and another 100 to buy today, it is a volume business that needs a clear head at auction. In the pig auction, buyer Rodney Phillips needs to buy at least 100 pigs to supply over 40 regular customers - from butchers to wholesalers - across the West Country.
