Marking a new chapter in the company’s history, H&H Launches First-Ever Online Poultry Sale for Renowned Breeder Steve Dace

Harrison & Hetherington are proud to announce their first-ever online poultry sale. This virtual auction is a retirement sale on behalf of respected breeder Steve Dace of Cheshire Poultry, and will feature approximately 300 lots, including the finest Wyandottes poultry, rare Sebastopol geese, and a wide range of poultry equipment.

Running online from Saturday 10th May to Saturday 17th May, the sale features:

  • Pairs and trios of Silver Laced, Blue Laced, Buff Laced, and Gold Laced Wyandottes.
  • Breeding groups of Sebastopol Geese including curly-breasted, smooth-breasted, greys, and buffs.
  • Poultry equipment including houses, show cages, hatching and rearing equipment and feeders.

Prospective buyers can view the poultry and equipment in person in Cheshire on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th May. The full catalogue will go live online from 7th May, and bidding will close at 12noon on 17th May.

This sale marks the end of an era for Steve Dace, one of the UK’s most consistent and quality-driven breeders of large Laced Wyandottes and Sebastopol Geese. Over nearly two decades, Steve has bred and exhibited to an exceptional standard and setting a benchmark in the exhibition poultry world.

On announcing details of the sale, Glyn Lucas, Senior Auctioneer at Harrison & Hetherington, commented:

“We are absolutely delighted to have been invited to conduct this, our first online poultry sale on behalf of such a highly respected and noted breeder. Steve’s reputation within the poultry world is second to none, and the quality of birds on offer reflects a lifetime of dedication. This is a unique opportunity for breeders and enthusiasts to acquire top-tier stock, and we’re proud to conduct it through our online trading platform.”

Steve’s success in the show ring is unrivalled, with wins including ‘Best Large Fowl Trio’ at the Federation Show and multiple Best or Reserve Laced Wyandotte titles at the National, Federation, and Scottish National Shows. His Sebastopol Geese have been equally lauded, earning two ‘Supreme Champion’ titles at the British Waterfowl Show, a rare ‘Champion Trio’ at the National Poultry Show, and a host of Best Goose, Best Gander, and Best Waterfowl accolades.

From humble beginnings to national acclaim, Steve’s meticulous selection, record-keeping, and passion for the breeds have built a legacy that will now be passed on to new keepers. This sale presents a rare opportunity to acquire birds backed by -tier breeding and championship-level success.
