Warwick’s popular and iconic Pig and Calf Sale will return to something more like normal on Wednesday 15 July when poultry, sheep and goat sales are due to resume.
The yards on Lyons Street in Warwick will once again be alive with the sounds of poultry – however the ‘sundry’ goods auction is still on hold until further notice.
Pig and Calf Sale auctioneers McDougall & Sons say “subject to further planning and review we will re-open the poultry, sheep and goat auctions from Wednesday the 15th of July 2020 at our Lyons street Pig and Calf Yards pending the Queensland governments implementation of stage 3 in easing restrictions”.
The following conditions will apply to all persons attending –
• All vendors and buyers will be required to sign in providing your name, address, contact phone number and signature. (This is required by the Queensland government for ease of tracking if there was to be an outbreak of covid-19)
• Physical distancing must be adhered to staying 1.5 meters away from others.
• Genuine buyers within buying areas only. If you do not intend to bid on a particular head of stock, please step away from the selling area.
• Dropping off and booking in of poultry will be strictly between 6.30am and 8.30am. This will allow for buyers to view what is available before the auction commences at 9.30am.
McDougall and Sons management also ask that if you are feeling unwell to please not attend.
Multiple sanitising stations will be made available throughout the selling centre.”
