 Hi Peter,
I find this most interesting , Richard Yapp must have  been in a fairly large way of business at that time to have so many animals for sale in the Spring of the year.
Very many thanks. Kind regards Eric.

On reading up a little it has been suggested that oxen for sale at the early fairs would have been those too old to continue ploughing.
