Feilding Saleyards is a livestock auction venue in Feilding on New Zealand's North Island. National Saleyards identifies onsite sales and online bidding through bidr, and directs buying and selling enquiries to PGG Wrightson or Carrfields. The venue is relevant to farms sourcing store cattle, buyers of prime stock and sheep producers. The yard administrator should not be confused with the selling agent responsible for settling a particular consignment.

The market's history page dates its first sale to May 1880 and gives approximate annual throughput of 50,000 cattle and 450,000 sheep. No observation year accompanies those figures. They are therefore recorded as indicative scale from an undated page, not as verified results for 2025 or 2026. They help describe the venue's significance but should not support a current saleyard ranking. Likewise, stock numbers advertised before a sale are not automatically the numbers actually sold.

A buyer should first identify the sale category and the agent handling the desired consignment. A useful enquiry states intended use, target weight, age, sex and preferred breed or cross. Remote bidders benefit from a detailed lot description and an agreed contact who can explain uncertain information before bidding starts. Collection requires separate arrangements for a livestock carrier, departure timing and identification of the purchased animals. Check the calendar for the actual date, including seasonal sales, instead of assuming that every category follows the same weekly programme.

A seller should agree consignment acceptance and presentation with the chosen agent. A well-prepared submission describes head count, weight consistency, origin and known production characteristics, rather than simply advertising cattle. Ask about commission, settlement timing and what happens if a lot remains unsold. Buyers taking animals for further production may place particular value on consistency within the group. For sellers, a clear description reduces misunderstanding. These are editorial preparation suggestions, not a complete statement of the market's contractual conditions or transport requirements.

The service separates classes and weight bands and displays measures including NZD/kg liveweight and NZD/head. The latest observation dates may differ between categories. Its accumulated database head count should not be treated as a complete annual total for the physical yard. Before comparing averages, check the period, coverage and whether the animals are store or prime stock. A quoted price remains evidence about a reported sale, rather than a commitment to supply similar cattle at that figure.
