Farm/Consignment Auctions

FARM & ESTATE AUCTIONS

Chehalis Livestock Market will conduct a Farm Auction any time of year. We have an exceptional reputation for providing our customers with top dollar for their farm equipment. We also specialize in estate sales. There are many advantages to selling out your farm or estate with us.

We would be happy to view your equipment at no charge and give you a cost rate to conduct your auction for you.

Payments accepted for purchases on the farm are cash and bankable check. No debit or credit cards accepted at these sales. All items must be paid for and picked up as posted in auction guidelines unless prior arrangements have been made. Failure to do so will earn bad reviews through Hibid.com for all future auctions.
