The railway line from Wickepin to Corrigin went through Yealering and opened on 8 June 1914 in Yealering. The yards and ramp were built by the local farmers in the 1950s, organised by the local branch of the Farmers' Union. When completed the Yealering Farmers Co-operative took over the responsibility for the yards together with the arrangements for all the sheep sales, farmers who contributed were issued with Co-op shares of an equal value. In 1959, at the request of the CWA members, the farmers union erected a small shelter for serving light lunches and teas at the sheep sales, the service was appreciated and raised money for the CWA funds.
