Greater Shepparton City Council has provided the following information in regards to livestock:
- People with stock are being encouraged to seek assistance from neighbours and friends with high ground in first instance as the Shepparton saleyards do not have infinite capacity to hold livestock.
- The saleyards can start receiving rescued livestock from 10am Saturday, October 15 but people should call the saleyard manager on 0474 822 846 before arriving with stock.
- It is pickup and drop off service (ie. no visiting livestock during their stay).
- Entry to the saleyards is via the Wheeler St entrance.
- All livestock must be NLIS tagged and a PIC supplied on arrival (this is an Agricultural Victoria legal requirement for movement of livestock).
- No BYO feed – this will be issued by saleyards.
