Marlow Farms – The Pas, Manitoba

“From our initial meetings with our territory rep we knew we had made the right decision to sell with Ritchie Bros. The whole process from auction preparation to sale day was handled professionally. They put a great deal of effort into advertising our farm and equipment, generating significant interest in our auction. We would encourage anyone to use Ritchie Bros. With their global reach, knowledge of the agriculture industry, and great customer service, we highly recommend using their auction services.”

Hanson Farms – Torquay, Saskatchewan

“The results were much higher than we anticipated. We didn’t think the land prices would hit that high, but interest from farmers the week of the sale was unreal. We were pretty stressed the night before the auction, but everything went high. Ritchie Bros. runs a top-notch operation—from the day we signed, to setting up, to sale day, they are the best auction company we have ever dealt with.”

Ron & Joan Tomanek – Whitkow, Saskatchewan

“This was the first time we had used the online bidding system. We liked the idea that the sale would be advertised world wide. We received numerous telephone calls from interested parties once the land had been listed for sale. There was lots of signage and advertising before the sale. The bidding started two days prior to the final sale. Each day the bidders kept battling with the prices increasing. The outcome far exceeded out expectations.”

Bob McMillan – Elk Island Park, Alberta

“I used Ritchie Bros. for a unique farm setup I had, operation for bison & cattle. I wanted it done all at the same time. Ritchie Bros. sold the land, buildings, art work, machinery, etc. Ritchie Bros. was able to get me a good price and I was satisfied and felt they were excellent to deal with. Very professional and overall great experience. I would be happy to recommend Ritchie Bros. to anyone who was in need of their services.”
