Gippsland Regional Livestock Exchange, or GRLE, is a livestock market at Sale in eastern Victoria. The facility is owned by Wellington Shire Council and works with four licensed selling agencies. Its product range includes cattle, calves, sheep and lambs. The operator describes a roofed, soft-floor cattle facility. For agricultural businesses, its value lies in bringing local livestock into organised lots that buyers from different production systems can inspect and compare.

Meat & Livestock Australia's saleyard survey for the 2024–25 financial year records 26,780 cattle and 23,489 sheep for Sale. These are separate entries in the Victorian cattle and sheep tables, not a count of all animals in the surrounding region. Throughput helps indicate the facility's trading scale, but does not predict the number available at the next sale or the share suitable for a particular farming enterprise.

The buyer information page identifies a registration form requiring the buyer's name, PIC and telephone number. Before bidding, clarify which agency is selling the selected stock, payment arrangements and collection timing. A useful comparison considers category, weight, age, breed or cross and available origin information. Transport planning should account for animal numbers and unloading arrangements at the destination. Documentation applicable to the intended movement should be checked with the relevant parties rather than inferred from a general market description.

A seller should begin by choosing an agent and agreeing when the consignment will be accepted. The operator distinguishes delivery before a sale from calf intake, so a single timetable should not be assumed to cover every category. A consignment enquiry is more useful with head count, indicative weights, animal identification and origin documents. Ask separately about commission, handling charges and arrangements for unsold stock. The instructions for the actual sale should take precedence over an old calendar notice or a general statement about usual trading days.

GRLE publishes market reports, giving the price channel P status. Reports may combine Australian cents per kilogram with Australian dollars per head. These units cannot be used interchangeably, and a highlighted lot's top price should not be treated as the average for its whole category. Retain sale date, category, weight and price basis when compiling a comparison. Add confirmed fees and transport to the purchase budget separately. A report is useful preparation for bidding, but it is not an offer for a future consignment or an assurance that a comparable animal will be available.
