More than $28,000 of chattels, poultry and animals was sold on Saturday April 22 when the A&P Association and Dannevirke Host Lions held their Small Holders Auction.
The crowd was down a little on 2016 but more than $600 was collected in gold coin donations at the gate.

There were three lines of chattels (150 lots) - more this year - but poultry was slightly down and livestock was minimal. Two working dogs found new homes, one of the four horses sold and five ewe lambs reached $87 per head.
