Pedigree Pig Sales
NEW BPA SPRING SHOW & SALE - APRIL 30 2011 -
CHELFORD AUCTION CENTRE, CHESHIRE
The BPA will be holding a Spring Sale of Pedigree Pigs in
conjunction with FR Marshall &Co on Saturday April 30th 2011. This
is a” first” for the BPA and we hope it will provide a service to
members both new and old for the distribution of breed genetics, and
quality fattening pigs in the early part of the year. So if it’s a
possible show animal you seek, or a group of Birth Notified
fattening weaners, or just to catch up with other Breeders after the
long winter then Chelford is the venue for you on April 30th.
There are also Cattle Society sales of Highland and Beef Shorthorn,
at the same venue that day.
The Show element of the Sale will be against Breed Standard, and the
three All Breeds Judges will award cards against Standard as a guide
in their opinion to the BREEDING QUALITY of the pigs forward. All
three judges have, or still keep Modern and Traditional Breeds of
Pedigree pigs. The format is similar to the one previously used at
the RBST Show and Sale at Stoneleigh.
The Birth Notified fattening pigs will not be sold as potential
breeding pigs so any mis marked pigs are eligible for sale. The
criteria are that they should be Birth Notified, and correctly
identified which will allow meat certificates to be obtained.
The BPA would like to thank the Farmers Guardian for their support
and provision of prize money for this event.
The BPA Junior Pig Club will be having a workshop prior to the Show
and Sale. Details are available from Tracey Bretherton 07884071924.
Breed Clubs are encouraged to attend and display their information
boards, and generally take up the opportunity to gain new
membership. For more information about the event contact Steve Booth
07778345958, or Steve Richardson 07746522168
