National Goat Identification System - Dispatch Documents
- Published on: 1 October 2019
- Last updated on: 25 March 2025
A Dispatch/Movement Document completed by the Operator of the goats must accompany goats moving off the establishment, throughout their movement. The Dispatch/ Movement Document is a three-part document, which must be signed by the operator off whose establishment the goats are being moved.
In addition, the blank areas of the Document must be completed by the Operator of the goat(s), indicating the number of goats being moved and the herd number of the establishment or (in the case of a slaughter plant or mart) the name and address of the establishment to which the goat(s) have been consigned. The individual identification code of all goats must also be recorded on the dispatch/movement document unless the goats were born before 31 December 2009 and are being moved to a slaughterhouse.
