Saleyards

About the Saleyards heading in Yellow™

Look for information about saleyards under this Yellow™ heading. Saleyards are selling facilities, marketing venues that cater to the livestock needs of Australia. With the emergence of the Internet as an important technological tool in commerce, saleyards have now expanded from mere physical locations to intricate virtual marketing and sales systems. Established in the Web for several businesses and enterprises to aggregate their products, these electronic saleyards attract buyers with a wide range of choices and connect them to a wide range of saleyards all across Australia.

Saleyards emerged as important economic locations in Australia as early as the 1950s. Livestock, cattle and horse during those times were brought to the selling centres by having the animals swim across rivers. The Rockhampton District Saleyards Board was then the authoritative entity controlling all saleyards across the states. The organisation was formed for the purpose of establishing regional saleyards in the country. Today, the organisation has been disbanded.

The importance of saleyards in Australia stem from the fact that they play a major role as a marketing venue for the auction system, as well as a venue for socialising. It is where country people meet to hold relevant discussions, both formal and informal, about the current trends in the industry. In addition, saleyards act as an educational venue and a driving force for the development of the livestock industry. Saleyards host many national and international events regarding the livestock industry. Students and experts in cattle and hog raising from all over the world, like  South East Asia, Pacific Rim countries, South and North America, Europe, South Africa, Japan, China and the subcontinent of India attend commercial cattle championships held every three years in the country. The event is called the “Beef Australia Expo.”  Yellow™ simplifies your search for a range of saleyards in all states in Australia.
