Probably 4-5 auctioneers going at same time I would expect and an early start

I would think there will only be one auctioneer , Logan is not that slow maybe wrong but have not seen two with them before at a farm sale

Would be surprised if more than 1 auctioneer and bet it doesn’t take that long anyway. Example 5 identical muck spreaders, 1 after the other, bish, bash, bosh......
The sale is 90% big kit, ie most of the small tools etc (that can eat up time at any roup) are being kept.

They will manage it no problem with one auctioneer. There is very few small lots.

Might be more chance of blagging a bargain if they’re keen to crack on

The sale today was a credit to Mr and Mrs Waldie and the whole family.
It was the best organised field of machinery I have ever attended.
I would say they got a well deserved, strong, trade.
The inputs varied in quality, but again the Newmills team had done very well to ensure they were well laid out.
David and Jeanette have been real super stars of the contracting world in these parts - customer service second to none. A lot of farmers will miss them.
David is late 70’s and has done exceptionally well to keep such a large business going until now.
