Visitor Health And Safety Advice

All the sale bulls have been screened for temperament and are quiet to handle under normal circumstances; however there are inherent risks associated with cattle handling.

VISITORS ENTER THE CATTLE PENS AT THEIR OWN RISK. CHILDREN MUST NOT ENTER THE YARDS.

People entering the yards are at risk of injury. Be especially alert for bulls fighting. We do not expect the bulls to be aggressive with humans, but Sale Day places extraordinary pressure on them. Remember, even the quietest bull is in fact an unpredictable animal. Do not crowd the bulls or loiter inside the pens. We cannot cover every example of the dangers of cattle handling so please use common sense and be alert at all times. Please call on any of the Landmark Agents for an escort through the bulls if required.

All persons who attend the sale do so at their own risk and the vendor assumes no liability, legal or otherwise, for any accidents which may occur.
