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
