In
the beginning……..the Gascoine family has been the driving
force in the development of Newark Livestock Market for over 30 years.
Doug Gascoine is chairman of this thriving livestock trading company
with co-directors Rachel Gascoine, Chris Farmer and auctioneer Paul
Gentry maintaining day-to-day control of the business from its prime
11-acre site on the outskirts of Newark.
Now ranked as one of the UK’s top five primestock sale
centres, and firmly established as the Midland’s premier
livestock auction, the weekly Wednesday sales at Newark Livestock
Market serve livestock producers and the wholesale meat trade drawn
from over a 100-mile radius.
Farmers trading regularly with Newark Livestock Market come from as far east at Great Yarmouth, south into Herefordshire, west towards Staffordshire and north into Yorkshire and beyond.
