A fantastic result from yesterday's sheep sale at Muchea Livestock Centre under the new mandatory sheep and goat electronic identification (eID) requirements.
We would like to acknowledge and thank all agents, producers, transporters and industry participants who played their part in making the transition such a success.
With 5,889 sheep yarded yesterday, an impressive 98.3% arrived in the Muchea Livestock Centre tagged with a functioning eID. This is an outstanding outcome and a credit to the commitment and preparation undertaken across the industry.
The result reflects the hard work invested by producers, agents, industry organisations and supply chain participants over the past two years to prepare for the introduction of nationally-agreed mandatory eID requirements for sheep and goats.
The seamless implementation at yesterday's sale demonstrates what can be achieved when an industry works together towards a common goal.
Congratulations and thank you to everyone involved. Your efforts have helped ensure a smooth transition while supporting livestock traceability, biosecurity and the ongoing success of the Western Australian sheep and goat industry.
