Northumberland Livestock

May 3

North East Livestock Sales held its first collective machinery at Reston in front of a large attendance of local and distant buyers.

With nearly 700 lots, a near total clearance was achieved to buyers from all over the UK and Ireland. Clean second-hand equipment was keenly bid for, with prices well above vendors’ expectations. Based on this success, a further sale is now planned for the autumn.
