When there was a Cattle Market in Adelaide...180 years ago.

🗞"ADELAIDE CATTLE MARKET,

FEB. 11.

-We had a very fine supply of fat cattle, which fully maintained the late prices ; small steers and dairy cows with calves by their sides, were numerous. The demand for the latter description of stock, notwithstanding the high price of butter and cheese, has much abated.

The sheep market was also well attended, and a few score of superior animals were readily disposed of.

Total at market- 38 fat oxen, at 20s per 1001bs. ; 34 working steers, at from £4 to £7 10s.; 6 dairy cows and calves, at from £4 to £5 5s ; 465 sheep, at from 9s te 12s."🗞

South Australian (Adelaide, SA : 1844 - 1851), Friday 13 February 1846, page 3

*The cattle markets were just off of North Terrace about where the current Royal Adelaide Hospital now stands.
