Dean & Vicki Gordon (Alberta)

Ritchie Bros. auctions run like a well-oiled machine. They are so efficient, everyone knows their specific role and works hard to do it well.

Dean & Vicki Gordon (Alberta)

Dean and Vicki Gordon sold their farm in Lacombe, Alberta with Ritchie Bros. in April 2011—the auction attracted close to 900 bidders from across Canada and even overseas. The Gordon's have been Ritchie Bros. customers since 1978—selling with the Company three times. Through the years they have grown to depend on Ritchie Bros.' full-service auctions, global marketing and professional, courteous customer service.

Doug Heritage - Miller Farm Equipment (Moosomin, SK

A buyer coming to a Ritchie Bros. auction knows that every piece of equipment is going to sell, regardless. They know that everything is lien-searched and there are no bid-ins or buy backs. It's clean and tidy for the buyers, and it's a done deal for the sellers. It's a true blue auction.

Miller Farm Equipment has been selling new and used farm equipment to Canadian farmers since 1924. Doug Heritage and Kevin Miller now operate one of the largest Case IH dealers in North America.

In 1985, they started hosting a mini-trade fair at their dealership. Now in its 23rd year, Farmer Information Days features exhibits, seminars – and an unreserved Ritchie Bros. auction.
