This legislation has been repealed.
If any cattle have been offered for sale at any pound sale and a bid has not been made at the sale for the cattle, and they are not, in the opinion of an officer authorised by the Minister, worth the sustenance fees that would be payable during the interval between the sale and the next day appointed for holding a sale at the pound, that officer may cause the cattle to be destroyed and dispose of the carcases in a way that he or she considers appropriate, and any proceeds of any sale of the carcases or any part of them shall be deemed to be the proceeds of the sale of impounded cattle.
