Cattle tick administration fee

A cattle tick administration fee applies at Dalby Regional Saleyards for additional management and handling requirements to protect biosecurity and support the long-term sustainability of our beef industry.

  • $2,750 per consignment (incl. GST)
  • Applies only where cattle ticks are confirmed
  • Effective from 1 July 2026
  • Administered by livestock agents and WDRC

 

Why it matters

Dalby Regional Saleyards sits within the tick-free zone and processes almost 300,000 cattle each year.

Cattle arriving with ticks

  • Increase biosecurity risk
  • Disrupt saleyards operations
  • Require additional handling, isolation, and compliance measures

 

What you need to do

  • Ensure cattle are free from ticks before transport
  • Speak with your agent if unsure
