Ulverston is busier than it was in the months after it re-opened, but not as
busy as it was back in 2000.
What we are seeing is more targeted sales. So every other week is store
cattle, dairy will be gathered up for a catelogue sale every couple of
weeks.Now the auction mart posts out to regulars a list of what is expected
at the next sale, a list of vendors and what they are selling. There are
sheep and a fat cattle mart every Tuesday but on alternate Tuesdays we now
have catelogued cattle. Obviously farmers being farmers stuff still comes in
on the day of the sale, but people now know roughly what is coming in.

I think this answers Tony's point. People aren't wasting time coming on the
off chance. They turn up now knowing it is worth their while.

Whether this will work in the long run I don' t know but it has worked well
up until now.
