In the beginning..... the Gascoine family has been the driving force in the development of Newark Livestock Market for over 30 years. Doug Gascoine is chairman of this thriving livestock trading company with co-directors Rachel Gascoine, Chris Farmer and auctioneer Paul Gentry maintaining day-to-day control of the business from its prime 11-acre site on the outskirts of Newark. Now ranked as one of the UK's top five primestock sale centres, and firmly established as the Midland's premier livestock auction, the weekly Wednesday sales at Newark Livestock Market serve livestock producers and the wholesale meat trade drawn from over a 100-mile radius.
