As the title suggests, does anybody have good recommendations for good livestock sellers in the Retford area? I have Lincolnshire Aquatics at Bawtry and they seem pretty decent but I have nothing local to compare them to. Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks Stephen I’ve heard mixed reviews of Maidenhead branches depending on individual managers so I guess it’s a case of checking them out.
20 minutes looking around and the right questions asked is usually enough!
