Town Head Farm Online Farm Sale Report 290121
Penrith & District Farmers’ Mart LLP conducted their first online farm sale on behalf of WA & C Errington, Town Head Farm, Askham.
The sale started with an on-farm viewing on both Monday 25th and Tuesday 26th January, with online bidding throughout the whole of that week, finally ending on Friday 29th January at 12 Noon.
The sale proved to be a huge success; this being helped by the quality of the genuine lots on offer. Bidding got frantic near the end of the sale, with many items achieving their new price, and in a few cases even more so.
The sale topped at £42,000 for a Massey Ferguson 5713S Dyna 4 (2019) with 1990 hours on the clock. A highlight in the sale was most certainly the Bolman bedding machine (2010) which sat for days at £4,000 and accelerated up to £9,700 in the end.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Malcolm Errington for the instruction to conduct his retirement sale and wish both him and his wife a very happy retirement.
