Experience one of the largest stock selling centres in New South Wales. Cattle Sale day is quite a spectacle - try to keep up with the auctioneers chant! Did you know they don't actually talk all that fast - they use a lot of filler words to make it sound fast. This is part functional and part psychological: "it's the perception of an auction that you can sell items in a fast manner", says Brandon Neely, who is Livestock Marketing Association world champion. It certainly makes an auction very exciting!

Gunnedah Saleyards is located on the edge of town, just a kilometre from the town centre on the Kamilaroi Highway towards Narrabri.

It is currently undergoing a significant upgrade, which will enhance the visitor experience; there will be a cafe on site and visitors can safely enjoy the spectacle.

Cattle Stock sales are held every Tuesday, with all cattle sold live weight.

Does not cater for people with access needs.
