Peter Crichton and Lacy Scott & Knight were jointly favoured with instructions by HC Stanford & Sons to hold their dispersal sale following the dissolution of their farming partnership.

Smaller equipment saw plenty of bidders and a top price of £1,520 for a 3,000 litre fuel cube with a smaller 950 litre version making £750.

Barn equipment and bygones met a total clearance with a 12kva PTO generator at £200, steel workshop cabinet at £140, bird scarers to £140 and a 21” ride on mower £380.
