NEXT AUCTION to be held on

October 3rd, 2010

We will be conducting a further small farmer's auction this year at the usual place, the Bridgetown Agricultural Showgrounds livestock pens under cover at the top side of the showgrounds.  The last auction, in October 2009, saw a large number of items of farm hardware and machinery and a more modest offering of poultry and livestock.

CATALOGUE
We receive many inquiries and complaints that we do not provide a detailed catalogue - whilst we will provide details of the lots that have been registered prior to the auction, many people just turn up on the morning with items to sell. Our facilities at the Showground do not permit us to prepare a full catalogue at this late stage.

Our advice is - no matter what we have listed, still come and have a browse just in case someone has turned up on the day with the item or livestock you are seeking.
