A medley of anecdotes, some humorous, some serious, from the working life of a Leicestershire man. From office boy to booking clerk to auctioneer to land surveyor to office manager with a firm of agricultural auctioneers. The true stories emanate from the office, the cattle market, glimpses into his private life, and from the fields around Melton Mowbray. From a dog bidding, a cattle buyer in helmet and visor, to a heifer that swallowed five feet from the end of a tape, the stories are but a few of many from his forty seven year's experience.
