June 25, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cattle delivered with ticks to the Dalby saleyards will incur a new $2750 per consignment fee.<\/p>\n

A Western Downs Regional Council spokesperson said the fee would take effect on July 1.<\/p>\n

It has been introduced in response to an increase in the number of consignments arriving at the saleyards with cattle ticks, placing extra pressure on operations and posing a significant risk to the cattle tick-free zone.<\/p>\n

The fee, which includes GST, will only be applied to consignments arriving at the saleyards where the presence of ticks is confirmed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cr Megan James said the measure was an important step in protecting the integrity of the region\u2019s livestock industry.<\/p>\n

“Dalby Regional Saleyards is a critical part of our beef supply chain, with almost 300,000 cattle passing through the facility in the 2025-26 financial year,” Cr James said.<\/p>\n

“Protecting our tick-free zone is essential to maintaining market access, industry confidence, and the long-term sustainability of the sector.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
