About Dispersal Sales
The farm dispersal sales department is a high profile part of our business. From a handful of sales in 1990 to 36 on farm livestock and machinery sales in 2004 the department's success is a reflection of the state of the farming industry in the early years of the 21st century.
As well as traditional dispersal sales the department also holds specialist sales such as sales of timber, and vintage tractors and for the last 2 years has conducted the Showman's Sale at Newbury Show Ground in Berkshire. They have also helped along the sale of several residential properties by holding evening and Saturday sales of a variety of possessions which elderly clients have accumulated over the years.
Symonds & Sampson LLP handle on farm sales of pedigree and commercial livestock, plant, machinery and produce. Sales are held throughout the week, but Saturday sales have proved particularly popular with many people from outside full time agriculture, including 'weekend farmers', enjoying the atmosphere of our auctions. Sales of vintage machinery and agricultural bygones always attract a good crowd with good prices being realised as items for restoration or collection become scarcer.
The specialist sales department is based at Yeovil and covers the whole of the Wessex region, local offices providing valuable support.
