David Rankin, Elders Jerilderie manager said vendors were understandably disappointed, but stock cannot be delivered from district properties due to the very wet conditions.
"We have a lot of country under water which is from heavy rain and not necessarily from flooded creeks," he said.
"The sheep are still holding their condition and hopefully we will have a good sale in early December."
