Kilcoy Saleyards

At Hayes & Co., livestock is more than our business, it’s our family story. Our connection to livestock auctioneering dates back to 1902, when our first licensed auctioneer, E.J. Hayes, laid the foundations of a legacy that has been carried through generations. More than a century later, that same commitment, work ethic and community spirit remain at the core of everything we do. The passion for the land, the livestock industry and its people has been passed down and proudly continues today.  

What began as a small family operation entered a new chapter in the early 2000’s as the Hayes & Co. brand took shape. Our first sale in June 2002 marked a defining milestone, laying the foundations for the business we know today.  Since then, our growth has been shaped by the same family values we’ve always stood by; trust, fairness and strong relationships within the livestock community.
