Richmond Valley Council has announced Outcross Agri-Services as the company to lease and operate the Northern Rivers Livestock Exchange.
Outcross Agri-Services will run the saleyards in Casino for the next five years, with an option in its favour for a further five years.
The Armidale-based company is Australia’s largest saleyard service provider. It is involved in saleyards in Roma, Blackall, Dubbo, Forbes, Yass, Moss Vale, Mortlake, Hamilton, Yeal, Naracoorte and Mt Gambier.
Council general manager Vaughan Macdonald said the council was confident local and regional stakeholders would embrace the new management arrangements so cattle sales could resume as soon as possible.
