The day-to-day management of the Millicent Saleyards has been changed by Wattle Range Council.

A council spokesperson said saleyards manager Andrew Robinson (pictured) had relinquished the role he has held for seven years.

The spokesperson said he was enthusiastic and dedicated.

“He has diligently worked the yards and paddocks like his own and has worked tirelessly to ensure the continued provision of service for the farmers of the Wattle Range Council region,” the spokesperson said.

“He will be missed at the Millicent Saleyards; however, he is not going far and you will likely spot him around town as he transitions to a role on our Parks and Gardens team.

“Thank you, Andrew, for hard work, cheerful banter and commitment over the years.

“Andrew will spend the next couple of sales handing his duties to council’s Engineering Department, where a number of staff will now be assigned to the Millicent Saleyards.

“The new contact for site users will be Tim Whennen, mechanical team leader.”
