‘It’s an incredible buzz’, says Shropshire sheep auctioneer, Lyndon Trumper, as we take a ring side seat at an auction and the man at centre stage. And it’s not just about the hammer falling, it’s about rhythm, sharp eyes, and knowing when to call. Lydon shared some of the tricks of the trade with BBC Radio Shropshire’s Andy Martindale at the Suffolk Sheep Show in Shrewsbury.
