A photographic insight into the world of livestock auction marts and shows in Northern England. These particular images are of sheep shows and sales at Tan Hill, Longtown, St John's Chapel and Middleton in Teesdale, and the Cowper Day horse sale in Kirkby Stephen. These livestock markets offer a wonderful opportunity to see a skilled auctioneer at work as he or she endeavours to achieve the best sale price from buyers. Great for people-watching too!
