Private Sales

This long-standing method of buying and selling stock is available for both prime and store stock. Rawlinson & Brown have access to a large network of buyers, who will purchase stock on farm on a dollar per head basis, or cent/kg liveweight in the case of cattle particularly those suited to feedlot specifications.

Over The Hook Sales

Our highly experienced assessors will visit your property to inspect and assess potential stock. Both sheep and cattle may be sold on a carcass weight basis with an added value for skins in the case of sheep.

Liveweight scales are available to calculate approximate carcass weights prior to sale and delivery to abattoirs.

National Vendor Declarations

The National Vendor Declaration (NVD) is the key tool underpinning Australia's food safety reputation for livestock. Producers use the NVD/Waybill to declare valuable information about the food safety status of the livestock being sold. Buyers rely on the NVD/Waybill for accurate information on the livestock purchased and processors rely on the information to ensure only the safest food enters our food chain.

Emergency NVD/Waybills are available to agents so that to be used in circumstances where a printed NVD is not available to a vendor. Emergency NVD/Waybills can only be printed as an LPA NVD/Waybill and is available for cattle, sheep and goats.

Please contact your Livestock Agent if you require an Emergency NVD.

National Livestock Identification Scheme

NLIS is Australia’s system for the identification and tracing of livestock. It is a permanent whole-of-life identification system that enables individual animals to be tracked from property of birth to slaughter for food safety, product integrity and market access purposes.
