The Queenstown Attorneys firm known as ELLIOTT BROTHERS decided in 1910 to also offer the farming community an Auctioneering service for their Livestock and the firm of ELLIOTT BROTHERS AUCTIONEERS AND SWORN APPRAISERS was established by Mr. E.C. (Ted) Elliott.

At sales during that time Cattle were herded together by herdsmen and offered to Butchers, Cattle speculators and Livestock buyers in groups.
