Buying live animals interstate sounds harder than it is — but there are real steps, and we'd rather you knew them all up front.
We send animals to every state in Australia. If you are in WA or Queensland there are a couple of extra requirements — nothing difficult, and we walk you through them.
Tell us your setup, your fencing, what you're hoping for. We'll tell you honestly whether we have the right animal — and the VIP waitlist sees animals before the catalogue does.
Video call, photos, or a visit by arrangement. Visits are by prior arrangement only — no drop-ins, because biosecurity here depends on knowing who has been in the paddocks and when. If you can't get to Freshwater Creek, we're just as happy to walk you around on a video call.
A deposit holds the animal and takes it off the available list. We'll confirm the amount with you once you've settled on which animal you're after. Our sale terms are on the terms page.
For cattle: NLIS transfer, vendor declaration, and society transfer where the animal is registered. You'll need a PIC — a Property Identification Code — for your own place before stock can move onto it. You apply for it through your state's agriculture department, and it's free. The NLIS transfer is then lodged within the required window once the animal has moved. We handle our side and walk you through yours.
We work with Andrew's Specialized Livestock (0448 423 977) and Horse Transport Australia, and can quote interstate movement — including to WA, which has extra requirements and longer lead times.
We don't disappear once the trailer leaves. Ask us anything, forever. We'd genuinely rather you called.
A PIC number for your property, suitable fencing and shelter, and at least one companion animal of the same species. We don't sell animals to live alone — not cattle, not goats, not sheep. It isn't a preference, it's how these animals work.
