There's not a online catalogue for the selling birds. The catalogue is for the showing section, and will only be available at the show, but anyone who is listed as an exhibitor has their name and contact details in the catalogue, so it's really useful.


If you are looking to buy its better to go on Saturday, otherwise stuff might have been sold already! Some additional selling pens does come in on Sunday, but not as much as Saturday.


Mays, looking for some Hamburg's as I am down to only 1 hen and the cockerel.

I'm thinking of popping along on the Sunday for a couple of hours to get ideas of breeds to buy.  Any idea when would be the best time to show up?  Cheers!

[Anke]

Hmmmm, just heard the weather forecast... unlikely that I will be driving cross-country to Lanark this weekend... shame, I am really keen to get some geese and/ducks in the next couple of years, so was keen to see what's being bred locally...

[Rosemary]

I really want to go but I'm watching the forecast as I don't fancy a two hour drive both ways in bad weather. I suspect from what happyhippy just emailed me that the forecast to the Lanark area is worse than for Carnoustie too 

[Mays]

good can anyone recomend best time to go over on Sunday? do they close it for judging?

[Big Light]

Theres no judging on the Sunday, it opens at 9am and i think lifting is about 2 - 2.30pm as people have long journeys.

 Best to come down in the morning as you have lots to get round, there are facilities at the mart for lunch / or Lanark isn't far away hope that helps

[Mays]

yes thank you that helps a lot 

[goosepimple]

Think too that there might be less showers/sellers due to the weather, seems to be worse west coast to central area last forecast I saw.
 
If anyone does go - if you could possibly locate any Steinbacher geese and get details of the breeders I am sure both Jaykay and myself would be extremely grateful. 
 
Thank you in advance.

[Mays]

nice Beth, see u there

I'm going Sunday, weather permitting, because I need to see the bloke that does the pen hire 

My moby is 07986 451129 if anyone's there and wants to meet for a cuppa.

Hi ya
Thank you for this site. It's actually the only place I could find the opening hours for the poultry show. It is my first poultry show in Scotland so I would like to get there in time.

Looking forward to meet some people with similar interests. And look at a lot of beautiful birds. 

[Big Light]

On the Saturday morning all birds are usually penned and prepared by 9.30 at lastest, and its a bit chaotic. Judging starts at 10 am some of the Halls are closed then to allow the judges to do their job, judging usually finishes just after lunch time.
