What do I need to be able to purchase cattle?
To purchase cattle you will need a
Property Identification Code (PIC), which you need to apply for from your local
Rural Lands Protection Board. We need this number to enable the NLIS transfer of
the cattle to your property. How do I order my LPA NVD’s?
To order LPA NVD’s you will need to register your PIC with Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) by phoning 1800 683 111. Once you have registered your PIC with MLA they can then order your National Vendors Declarations. Do all Cattle have to carry a NLIS device & where do we purchase them?
In July 2005 the National Livestock Identification System come into place in
NSW. This means any cattle moved off a property will need to have some sort of
NLIS device, being a Rumen Bolus, or Ear Tag, more common in NSW. Once the
animal has been tagged, this must stay in place for its lifetime, therefore
should not be replaced by the farmer. There are two colours of tags. Orange,
which are post breeder or emergency tags, which mean the cattle do not have a
lifetime traceable status, and White, which are vendor, bred cattle. These
cattle should be able to maintain the history of life from birth until
slaughter. NLIS tags can be ordered through your local Rural Lands
Protection Board. What forms do we need to fill out before we sell cattle?
If you are selling cattle for the first time we will need your details including Trading Name,
Address, Phone Number and your GST Status. We have a form to be filled out
specifically with this information and it can be faxed, emailed or posted to
you, this is just a one off form. You will also need a current NVD, which is
detailed information on the particular consignment of cattle, this form is
needed for each consignment of cattle sold. Can Bowe & Lidbury arrange carriers?
