John Jeffery of Donhead established the original business in 1902. The present company of Southern Counties Auctioneers began trading in 1987 as a specialist livestock auction business. The company has since expanded and now holds nationally recognised livestock auctions which include; the popular monthly Rare Breed Poultry sales and Organic sales, the Wilton Sheep Fair and Beaulieu Road Pony sales all highly attended and successful sales. Our weekly markets held at both Shaftesbury and Salisbury in purpose built buildings hold with traditions but also embrace diversity, in an atmosphere where all are welcome. Southern Counties Auctioneers is also greatly associated with the sale of agricultural and plant machinery, including other industrial equipment sales. Throughout the year we hold several different collective and specialist sales with the Wessex Machinery Sale at Shaftesbury head lining these. Our auctioneers also offer full on farm dispersal sales and are always happy to handle enquiries.
