Market Reports

Chagford Market

Rendells Chagford market offers a rare and welcomed opportunity to sell in a traditional environment having wooden rails and gates and with grass growing underfoot. Famously, this is one of the only livestock markets within the Dartmoor National Park and the last to uphold the time honoured tradition of the 'drift sales' of the Dartmoor Hill Pony.

The market is seasonal but is going from strength to strength with an increase of livestock numbers and more frequent sale dates for cattle, sheep, horses, ponies and machinery. Please feel free to contact one of our auctioneers for more information.

Ashburton Market

Steeped in history with the first show and sale in Ashburton dating back to 1893 the Ashburton Sheep Sale was restarted again in 2019 being located in the grass fields lying to the west of the town at Peartree Cross directly off the A38.

Successfully supported by local farmers from all over the South West including the South Hams and Dartmoor whom require a rural, open-air, seasonal sheep sale and it is hoped this traditional event will continue for many years to come.

With the sales of couples, breeding ewes, store lambs and breeding sheep taking place up to three times a year, it is hoped that this sale will continue to grow from strength to strength. Please feel free to contact one of our auctioneers for more information.
