Wharfedale Farmers - Vendor / Seller Covid 19 Update

We need to maintain social distancing. Buyers & staff are imperative to the sales operating successfully and to make sure as many buyers are able to attend the sale & bid at your stock we ask for your cooperation.
Please note if you are not selling stock you are still not permitted to enter.
The following rules apply for all classes of stock
One person can enter per consignment of stock to see your own stock sold & then leave the livestock area
no children or at-risk persons to enter
We are happy to sort your stock to the best of our ability or if you prefer we can draw to your marks placed on the animals at home with a note to accompany the animals to explain the marks.

Please note no sellers to enter the sales ring or lamb/ewe pens to show their stock it is simply an opportunity to watch stock sold.
Drop & Go still in place. Only enter the livestock area to see your stock sold.
We are limited on space and this is the only method that works to keep operational and providing competition for your stock without affecting the numbers of buyers or staff we have in the market.
We still need to continue to adhere to strict conditions in order to operate & keep markets open.
A second spike in the virus or a positive test of someone on the premises could have a severe impact on your ability to sell stock & our business continuing to operate in the short term.
No sorting of stock will be permitted drop & go still in place.
Vendors will be able to enter the market at the sale time of their stock & leave immediately after the sale of their animals. We need your assistance & cooperation to make this work.
Vendors will be able to watch stock sold but not enter the sales ring.
Thanks for your continued support & understanding.
