William Inglis & Son officially opened the new Livestock Selling Centre in Edward Street on Tuesday 6th February 2007.
After having sold livestock at the Camden saleyards for over half a century, William Inglis & Son marked the end of an era when we made plans to demolish the well-and-truly outdated open air timber sales ring to be replaced by a new stadium-style, fully enclosed selling centre.
Mayor of Camden, Chris Patterson officially opened the centre early Tuesday morning before the first steer, donated by Ron Perich of Leppington Pastoral Company, sold for $10,000 to the Lopresti and Stanbee family’s, long time clients of the company. All proceeds went to Lifeline.
Proprietor of Camden Valley Meats, Ray Crowe, carted the charity steer to Wollondilly abattoir and packaged the meet free of charge.
