Sheep saleyard accepted disease statuses
Selling livestock through saleyards is a common way to move sheep in South Australia (SA).
Before moving livestock to a saleyard
Producers must:
- ensure all consignments have their status verified and are accompanied by a completed National Sheep Health Declaration and National Vendor Declaration.
- check which flock disease status is accepted for Johne's disease and Footrot at each saleyard.
