We were excited to showcase how our newly minted eID scanners to journalists from Farm Weekly, Countryman and ABC South West earlier this week.
Our skilled staff Sam and Karina provided a demonstration of how the system works and, in the process, demystified the scanning of electronically tagged sheep and goats going through the Muchea Livestock Centre, required from 1 July 2025.
Thank you to the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development for the funding and capability support to help with the transition process.
Keep an eye out for the articles, which hopefully will reach you soon! 🤞
