The sale at Pentremadoc Farm, Dudleston, near Ellesmere is being organised by Halls auctioneers on behalf of Mrs Enid Pritchard on Wednesday, August 7, starting at 3pm.
Included in the sale are tractors, vehicles, farm machinery, livestock feeding equipment and household furniture and effects.
Allen Gittins, chairman of Halls, said: “The Pritchard family has owned Pentremadoc Farm for 55 years and is well known in farming circles in the area.”
Mrs Pritchard’s son, Peter, said his grandfather, George, bought the farm in 1969 and milked a herd of dairy cows until 1988 when he handed it over to his son, Brian, who carried on milking for five years.
