Our dedicated Agricultural Auctions team is well known within the farming and wider community for the efficient and comprehensive service we provide to our clients.Our reputation for holding successful auctions extends beyond selling livestock, machinery, standing crops, and fodder to various sales held on behalf of individuals, limited companies, local authorities, and insolvency practitioners. An experienced team conducts highly efficient online and onsite sales for retirement, closure, and restructuring of businesses throughout South England. So far in 2024, we have held sales featuring dispersals of farming, nursery and workshop stock, and whole herd dispersal, as well as our regular online sales masterminded by Paul Heard at our Tiverton office.
Partner and Auctioneer Greg Ridout reports that overall, trade through 2024 has been slightly more selective, but well-maintained equipment coming straight from a farm has commanded unbelievable prices, driven by a loyal audience of UK and Europe-based buyers.

- Private Treaty and On-Farm herd dispersals, with organic, block calving, and AYR herds in Devon, Dorset, and Somerset.
