August 8, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

The State Government has invested more than $1.3 million into upgrades at the Roma Saleyards, the largest livestock selling centre in Australia.<\/p>\n

Local Government Minister Stirling Hinchliffe, who was in Roma for the LGAQ’s Bush Council Convention, said the upgrades included new selling pens which meant more cattle could be handled.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the largest saleyards in the southern hemisphere and is an incredibly important economic focal point for the Maranoa Region,\u201d Mr Hinchliffe said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new pens and drafts on the eastern side and additional works on the western side will ensure that the holding capacity is increased, and cattle flow improved.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be an overall reduction in cattle movements and weighing times, which also means there will be less stress on the stock, which is a very good thing for all.”<\/p>\n

Agriculture Minister Mark Furner said the investment in the Roma Saleyards was a strategic commitment to the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cattle industry is growing jobs in Queensland according to the most recent ABS figures,\u201d Mr Furner said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis kind of infrastructure will make sure the industry has capacity to expand and grow the regional jobs we need today and into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Roma Saleyards will be celebrating its 50th anniversary later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
