Hudsonville Fairgrounds Auction

Posted on by Miedema Admin

The Miedema Auctioneering Bi-Annual Equipment Auction

Twice a year Miedema Auctioneering hosts a live auction at the Hudsonville Fairgrounds in Hudonsville, Michigan.

This auction has become a very popular auction over the 30+ years that Miedema has hosted it. Many of our loyal bidders and buyers look forward to these auctions every year! Rain or shine, snow or wind, we are at the fairgrounds selling equipment.

Our next equipment auction is on the calendar!

Saturday, December 7 will be here before we know it (don’t worry we aren’t trying to rush winter). If you are interested in selling within this auction and would like your equipment featured within our brochures, the advertising deadline is Wednesday, November 6.

As for dropping off your equipment at the fairgrounds, we start accepting equipment and small items on Monday December 2 – December 5 from 8-5. We stop taking small items on Thursday December 5. We will still accept equipment on Friday December 6 until 3:00 pm.

If you are interested in consigning your equipment to this auction, Donna Reitsma is the person you will want to get in contact with. Donna can be reached at: 616-389-6440 or donna@1800lastbid.com

Many bidders attended this auction with hopes of bringing home the star of the auction, a John Deere 6605 Forage Chopper. In addition to the chopper, many bidders had their eyes on a hay and corn head that attached to the chopper. By the time it was time to bid on the chopper bids flew back and forth, and back and forth again. With the final bid called, the chopper, and heads officially had a new home.

The John Deere 6605 Forage Chopper brought in a high bid of $61,000, while the John Deere 640A Hay Head received a high bid of $5,500 and last but not least, the John Deere 686 Corn Head received a high bid of $25,000.

Overall, it was a beautiful day for an auction, and many bidders headed home with smiles and new equipment

Meet our Auctioneer: Jordan Miedema

Posted on by admin

Jordan Miedema is one of our live auctioneers here at Miedema Auctioneering. Jordan has been around the auction world for many years now, and recently we have sat down with him to talk about being an auctioneer.

 

How long have you been an auctioneer for Miedema Auctioneering?

  • I started auctioneering in 2011.

What made you want to become an auctioneer?

  • Growing up in the family business watching my Dad and uncle auctioneer and always working the live auctions since I was a kid.

Where did you go to Auctioneer School at?

  • Reppert Auction School in Indianapolis Indiana.

What is your favorite aspect of being an auctioneer?

  • Interacting with customers and helping families and clients out of tough situations. I like the excitement the auction brings and enjoy working as the auctioneer and in the ring.

What is the craziest item you have ever sold

  • I get asked this question a lot, and I always have a tough time answering it. I think some of the expensive tractors are unique and I always find the old farm tools interesting as well.

Outside of being an auctioneer, what are your hobbies?

  • I like to play basketball and softball in the summer and with hockey in the winter. I also enjoy hunting and boating with friends and family.
If you see Jordan at one of our upcoming Live Auctions be sure to say hi! Get to know the rest of our team here.
