Bull for Sale at Newton Abbot Livestock Market, Devon: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in farming and livestock trading. Taken at Newton Abbot Livestock Market in Devon during the 1960s, the image showcases a powerful and majestic bull being prepared for sale. The market, which has a rich history dating back to the 13th century, was once a bustling hub for farmers and traders from across the region. The bull, with its impressive horns adorned with flowers and foliage, stands proudly in a pen, its muscular form exuding strength and power. A farmer, dressed in traditional attire, holds a bridle and rope, ready to lead the animal to the auction ring. The scene is completed by the wooden pen and the rustic surroundings, with other cattle pens and farm buildings visible in the background. The atmosphere at the market was always electric, as farmers and traders gathered to buy and sell their livestock. The sale of a bull was a significant event, as it represented the potential for increased productivity and profit on the farm. The bull's value was determined by its size, strength, and conformation, with the best specimens commanding high prices. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of farming and livestock trading during the 1960s. It is a poignant reminder of the close connection between the land, the farmers, and their livestock, and the importance of tradition and community in rural life.
