Mr Tout praised the young livestock team from Elders for their excellent job running the weaner sale, and also thanked neighbouring Elders branches at Tumut and Adelong for their support.
“It was a very solid sale overall, very well supported. Everything sold well and all vendors were happy with their sales,” Mr Tout said.
“It was great to see the Gundagai saleyards being well-used and the $4.2 million to the local economy, with all the money going to local vendors.”
