Sheep Dipping Rules Guard Against Vermin Auction
The Chief Veterinary Surgeon said Stock Diseases Act rules require sheep meant for sale off-shears to be dipped before leaving the owner's property. Most comply, reducing lice and bed infestation at markets, but some have used powdered dip or watering cans to dodge duties, risking vermin transfer. The regulations will be policed and action taken on further offences.
