Sedgemoor Auction Centre
01 April 2008

Sedgemoor Auction Centre, the newly opened state of the art livestock market, just off junction 24 of the M5 at Bridgwater, is now offering the service of regular monthly auction sales for organic store, dairy and youngstock.

The first sale will be held on Monday 5th May. It will commence with store lambs and couples (ewes with lambs at foot) at 10.30. A sale for calves over 12 weeks will start at 11.45, to be followed by dairy cattle, stirks (weaned calves) and store cattle at 12.30. Sales of breeding ewes and rams will take place during the season.

Subsequent sales will then continue on the first Monday of each month.

Entries have to be prior notified to the market office at least two weeks ahead of the sale day for certification clearance and cataloguing. A copy of a certificate of registration and a trading schedule, detailing the category of stock to be sold, need to accompany the entries.

Further information maybe obtained from the market on 01278 410278 or Robert Venner on 07889 006503.

A recent sale at Sedgemoor Auction for an individual client produced excellent results and Greenslade Taylor Hunt, the Auctioneers, are now keen to open their services to the wider organic farming community.
