NZ Farmers Livestock Regional Manager, Malcolm Coombe, said farmers traditionally “attended one sale a day but our hybrid auction platform enables them to ‘virtually’ attend sales all over the country. This means they’re often conflicted, wanting to bid at several sales on the same day. So we’ve made it easier for them to attend every sale, by adjusting the dates of some of the sales we have control over, like Rongotea.” Malcolm Coombe said the Rongotea stockyards date back more than 100 years. “It’s always b...
