More about this scene
Uttoxeter cattle market was the biggest market south of Nantwich. Before the foot and mouth outbreak of 2001, it hosted fat and store cattle sales on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Since the outbreak it now only sells on Wednesdays. It is still the venue for the UK's largest sale of Holsteins. The Holstein breed originated in the Netherlands close to 2,000 years ago. The black cows and white cows of the Batavians and Friesians were bred and culled to produce cows that made the best use of limited land by producing the most milk. Eventually these animals evolved genetically into the efficient, high-producing black and white dairy cows known as the Holstein-Friesian.
