Anyone with livestock affected by the fires who can take them west of Bairnsdale, should, but the saleyard remains ready to help those who need a refuge for their large animals.
East Gippsland Livestock Exchange coordinator Mal Lees said people who present to the saleyards would be rerouted to safety.
"We are absolutely chockers here, bursting at the seams," he said.
"We've got the pony club available and the racetrack but, at this stage, if people can go further, that's better because this is only the tip of the iceberg.
"I'll be taking injured horses out of far East Gippsland."
Mr Lees said there were 300 horses alone as well as cattle and sheep at the saleyards.
A Wellington Shire spokesperson confirmed the Sale Showground was open and ready to receive evacuated livestock.
As of Thursday night, it still had 60 pens empty and the shire would consider opening other facilities such as the Gippsland Regional Livestock Exchange if it became necessary.
Bairnsdale-based livestock carrier Shane Kennedy said he had been driving one load after another out of East Gippsland for the past couple of weeks.
"People are trying to get their stock out before the fires come back down again," Mr Kennedy said.
"They're very confused - It's amazing where it has burnt.
"The trouble is they have trouble getting into some of the remote spots and then it just turns into a big fire."
