After one of the wettest months for decades Symonds & Sampson’s agricultural auctioneers were relieved to see the sunshine when they dispersed sheep equipment near Beaminster on behalf of Chedington Court Estate Ltd on Saturday.Head of the department, Greg Ridout, said “The equipment had been very well maintained and presented and included every item a self-respecting sheep farmer would need. A large crowd came along, and prices were good as a Polaris 570EFI,28ft livestock box, sheep handling equipment and livestock sundries went under the hammer”.

Top price lot on Saturday was the Livestock trailer, selling for £15,100 Trade was strong at the dispersal of the Holland Farms (Dorchester) Friesian Holstein dairy sale last week (below). The well managed herd drew interest both online and onsite, with 61 cattle selling at over £2000, and a top price of £2,520.
