A 922B Caterpillar wheel loader received the top price of $21,000 at the Portee Station clearing sale at Blanchetown on Friday.

Graziers Ian and Mary Clark were happy with the sale, as 99 per cent of the items sold, which included machinery and equipment, and antique or museum items.

The vendors have retired and sold Portee Station homestead and shearing shed after the clearing sale for more than $1 million.
