Changes to livestock sale dates
East Gippsland Livestock Exchange has updated its sale dates to align with Gippsland markets: prime cattle weekly on Wednesdays, sheep bi-weekly on Mondays, and store cattle bi-weekly on Fridays. The changes support local producers and buyers.
East Gippsland Livestock Exchange has new sale dates to align with other Gippsland markets and best support local producers and buyers.
- Prime cattle - weekly Wednesday, 8.30am
- Sheep - fortnightly Monday (as per current schedule), 10am
- Store cattle - fortnightly Friday (second and fourth week of month), 9am
The changes came into effect earlier this month. The decision by the Bairnsdale Stock Agents Association to change the sale days has the full support of East Gippsland Shire Council.

Collaboration boosts economy
General Manager Assets and Environment Stuart McConnell said, "Our agents, in consultation with major stakeholders, made the decision after changes were made to other facility sale schedules. A thriving and diverse economy requires community, government and business stakeholders to work together."
"This decision is an example of how we work with our partners to promote our competitive advantages. The saleyards are an important economic driver for our region, and a valuable place of social connection for our agriculture sector. The changes will better support vendors, buyers and agents," Stuart said. For more information and updates, visit the Sale dates and times, and market reports can be found on our website.
