PLEASE NOTE:
All cattle must be housed/penned for inspection prior to the arrival of the inspector. You are required to provide access to a working crush should the inspector require closer inspection and for taking a DNA hair sample. If, on arrival, the inspector assesses the facilities and conditions provided to be inadequate to enable safe inspection, the inspection will not proceed but the inspection fee will remain due regardless.

HAIR SAMPLE FOR DNA: Hair must be clean and be taken from the TAIL SWITCH. Hairs taken from the coat does not provide a viable sample for DNA profiling.
