Straying Livestock Services

Council's after-hours service allows members of the public to report wandering stock on roadsides. Livestock are removed from roadsides or impounded to ensure roads are safe. Impounded livestock will be held at the most suitable Council facility i.e. Coolabunia Saleyards, Wondai Tick Clearing Yards or Nanango Tick Clearing Yards.  After hours contact details are listed below;

Tick Clearing Facilities

All cattle moving across the tick line which require inspection or treatment can use the  Coolabunia or Nanango Tick Clearing Dips.

For tick inspection and dipping, please contact Council's Saleyard Superintendent on mobile 0418 477 096.

Inspections require 48 hours notice.

Coolabunia Saleyards

Coolabunia Saleyard Facility consists of three facilities:

• Saleyard Complex
• Clearing Dip

The facility holds fortnightly cattle sales, speciality store and fat sales, breeder shows and sales.

The tick clearing dip is an important facility as it provides a venue for cattle producers to have all cattle inspected and treated for cattle ticks.
