Cattle Transhipment – Board and Loadings for Cattle on the Move

The Cattle Transhipment Area takes up 20% of the undercover Centre. The Area has 26 transhipment pens with a capacity of 2,000 head of cattle.

In close vicinity is the 9 way pastoral draft with liveweight scales plus 2 x 4 way standard drafts with liveweight scales. On these scales cattle are weighed individually at speeds up to 240head /hour/ scale (average 200 head/hour – in contrast to Midland bulk weighing at 180 head for group weighing).

The flooring is a unique sawdust, which provides soft comfortable bedding for the cattle – making them less stressed.

Water is available in every pen. A hospital pen is easily accessed.

The Scales and Transhipment Area are available for PRIVATE SALES.

The Transhipment Area is an AQIS ACCREDITED LIVE EXPORT DEPOT.

The Centre is available for PRIVATE SALES, TRANSHIPMENT AND EXPORT DEPOTING OF LIVE EXPORT CATTLE.

Truckwash

The Muchea Livestock Centre has an 8 bay drive through Truckwash. An Avdata key operates 4 bays and Coin Operated devices operate another 4 bays. The Truckwash is available on a 24 hour basis (for site access card holders) and during normal MLC operating hours (for other users).

The Avdata system uses a micro chip key that can be used Australia wide. Avdata keys are available from the WAMIA Admin Office at the MLC. All trucks using the Avdata wash are required to supply their own hose. The coin operated truck wash operates with $1 coins for smaller trucks. Hoses are supplied for this wash.

Wash usage is charged on a per minute basis with current charge rate for the Avdata wash at 68c per minute. Using the coin wash, $1 will provide a wash for just under 1 minute. The Truckwash is only available for use by Livestock Vehicles. All enquires re the operation of the Truckwash or purchase of Avdata keys should be directed to WAMIA.
