Melbourne Gold Oaklands Inspections Cancelled

Media Release - Thursday July 9

On the advice of the Hume City Council and relevant health authorities, the Melbourne Gold Yearling Sale inspections scheduled for Oaklands from this coming Monday will no longer take place.

With the Gold Sale having been moved to the Inglis Digital July (Early) Online Auction as a result of the worsening COVID-19 situation in Victoria, it was planned to still hold physical parades at Oaklands next week.

But border closures and tightening restrictions in Victoria has made it impossible for these inspections to take place at Oaklands.

Inglis instead encourages buyers to attend on-farm inspections in coming days where possible.

Inglis, in conjunction with the TBV and ATA, will distribute a full list of lot numbers and farms where the yearlings will be located, along with a contact name and phone number per farm, to assist in on-farm inspections.

Anybody wishing to access this list, please contact the Inglis Melbourne office on 03 9333 1422.

The Melbourne Gold Sale will have its own section as part of the Inglis Digital July (Early) Online Auction.

Bidding will open tomorrow (Friday July 10) and begin closing out next Thursday (July 16) from 10am at inglisdigital.com.

Prospective buyers must register prior to bidding if they are not already part of the Inglis Digital buyer database of 5500.
