FAQ’s

We answer your frequently asked questions regarding cattle, sales and marketing reports.

ARE NLIS TAGS COMPULSORY?

Yes, NLIS tags are compulsory. The National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) ensures lifetime movements of cattle, sheep, pigs, and goats can be identified and recorded within Australia.

There are specific NLIS requirements when moving different types of livestock in Queensland. All cattle, sheep, pigs and goats must be fitted with an approved NLIS device when moving between properties identified with a different PIC.

NLIS devices are permanent devices that must not be removed once fitted and will remain for the lifetime of that animal. If a device is lost, the animal must be retagged with an approved NLIS device prior to moving off the property.
