What is a livestock auction mart? How do you become an auctioneer? Why do we need them?

Post GCSE results day, we chat with livestock auctioneer Sion Roberts about his job role, how qualifications aren’t always necessary for this career path and where you can learn more.

Sion talks us through what his day to day looks like, how to spot a good lamb and just how much a sheep can go for.
