How-to: Record an animal that has died

If livestock with electronic devices die or are destroyed on a farm or feedlot, use the Livestock that have died on property transaction to notify the database.

Do not notify the database that animals are deceased unless you are certain.

If they actually moved off the property and the device numbers are submitted in another transaction, a database error occurs and action is necessary to ‘resurrect’ the animals.

Note: If animals are ‘missing’, use the Device status transaction to assign the IA (Inactive) status to the devices. If the animals are found, use the same transaction to remove the IA status (turn it ‘Off’).

If you suspect cattle may have been stolen, report the matter to the Police. If you provide device numbers, they can assign an S (Stolen status). Otherwise, an S1 status applies (Presumed stolen but may have strayed).
