FARM SALES – COLLECTIVE AUCTION REPORT

Saturday 8^th July saw our second of three Andrew Baughan collective sales scheduled for this year.

A day of mixed weather from bright sunshine to a few downpours produced 850 lots from 58 vendors.

We started with approximately 500 smaller lots in which there was something for everyone from a flagpole for £75, an array of pheasant feeders selling for £10 per piece and anvils selling from £190 to £410.

A hovercraft that was nearly needed during one downpour sold for £500.

In the machinery section we had a good collection of tractors with the highlights being two Fords selling for £3,700 each, International Harvester 785L at £2,150, Massey Ferguson 135 for £3,400 and a David Brown 770 at £3,000.

A 32’ bale trailer made £2,300 and a Ford Transit Tipper Van sold for £1,450. A nearly new Ifor Williams HB511 horse trailer made £5,600.

Our next dispersal sale is a complete smallholder’s dispersal sale on 19^th August on behalf of the executors of Mr N Astley at Broadwell near Rugby. Staying in the Rugby area in September we are holding a farm dispersal sale on behalf of Messrs S Webster on the 16^th to which further entries are invited.

Andrew will be hosting the next collective sale on Saturday 7^th October. To ensure your lots are advertised please contact Gilly Wrathall to enter in advance.
