ADAS Rosemaund unit says farewell in farm sale

The recent sale of agricultural machinery at ADAS’ Rosemaund unit saw a large gathering of the rural community from Herefordshire and further a field.

Rosemaund had been an integral part of the agricultural world for over 40 years and had accumulated a huge array of agricultural machinery.

This reflected in the following prices received culminating in a bid of £23,500 for a 2004 Manitou MLT 634 loader.

Other farm machinery sold to £3850 for an A/W 13 tonne trailer. Teagle Tomahawk 80/80 Bale Shreader £3200, Spaldings, Flat Lift 90/150 £3050, McConnell hedge trimmer £2400, Amazone D39 scuffle £2350, Collins 8 tonne £2100, Star 1300 tanker £2050, Warwick dump trailer £2000, Opico grass harrows £1950.

The auction of the 800 sheep will now take place on the farm when foot and mouth regulations allow (Auctioneers John Amos and Co).
