We would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported our second annual JAD Speckle Park Bull + Female Sale on March 27, 2020. What a rollercoaster of a week leading up to sale day! We went from planning to have our sale at the same location as last year – at “Dulcidene”, Dubbo – to completely relocating our sale to our property, “Greenvale”, Yeoval, due to health concerns around the rapidly-expanding coronavirus pandemic, and the knowledge that AuctionsPlus online bidding would play a massive role in this year’s sale.
And it did! We had just 17 clients or potential clients physically present with us on sale day, with a further 299 registered bidders AND 181 guest viewers online. Thankfully, the effort we put into measurement, our sale catalogue, individual videos of every live lot, independent structural assessments, and so on paid off. A massive thank you to everyone who supported our 2020 sale. View The Land newspaper’s 2020 JAD Sale Report here.
