SPIRITED bidding by more than 300 people saw everything from a stuffed goat’s head to a skid-steer loader sold at a clearing sale in Bears Lagoon.
The JCB loader was the big ticket item knocked down by auctioneer Graeme Hayes for $38,000.
The goat’s head was one of several taxidermy lots in the sale. Two deer heads each sold for more than $400, a pair of pheasants for $150 and the goat for $220.
Mr Hayes said other top price lots also sold were a Mazda ute for $30,500, ride-on mowers for up to $9000 and Polaris 4WD for $7000.
Collections of tools fetched up to $600 in the sell-out auction.
Mr Hayes said: “Bidders came from far and wide and for some of the bigger and heavier items, buyers were able to use our heavy-lifting service offered at clearing sales.”
Pyramid Hill Lions Club provided catering for the sale.
