"Its only worth what someone is prepared to give"
The live auction is still the best way to determine the right buyer and the right price. The popularity of platforms like eBay and T.V's "Bargain Hunt" indicate peoples' fascination with the 'art'.
The auctioneer is the crucible for all this to take place and their skills make all the difference to trade.
Our guest is the perfect example of someone with a passionate knowledge of the animals he is selling and the people involved.
Sion graduated from Aberystwyth University in 2017 with a 2:1 agricultural degree.
In November 2020 he was senior auctioneer at St Asaph Livestock Market for Jones Peckover Ltd.
He was voted auctioneer of the year in 2022 and has won at The National Eisteddfod with his singing in that year.

"Intangible Cultural Heritage," falconry is as ancient as the History of Mankind.
'Mews' property, 'hoodwinking,' and 'haggard,' are all words with a rich cultural past.
Mark and fellow falconers preserve and protect some magnificent birds of prey whilst giving them a role to live as they should in the natural world.
The following podcast from the BBC's World Service was fascinating background to Mark's story.
