TANJAR BABYDOLL SOUTHDOWN'S GO INTERNATIONAL
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR MEMBER, TANJAR BABYDOLL SOUTHDOWN'S who have successfully sent the first consignment of sheep internationally.
Seven of homebred Babydoll sheep (three coloured, four off-white) have left Australia and just touched down safely in Mongolia. They will stay there in Quarantine with a vet for 45 days and then head to their final destination in Beijing China to a wonderful property.
This is the first for Tanja and a first for AABMGS and the first time a registered Coloured Babydoll has left Australian shores. It may even be the first time an Australian Babydoll has gone overseas.
We wish the new owner's Lv Chen from Mulan Stud all the best with their new sheep.

NEW REGULATIONS FOR EARMARKING SHEEP IN WA
Earmarking and branding consultation report published 16 June 2021
Earmarking of sheep, and earmarking or branding of cattle, are to become optional in Western Australia in 2022, Next steps DPIRD will begin drafting amendments to existing regulations to implement this change. Until the changes are legislated (expected to be early 2022), sheep and cattle owners must continue to earmark and/or brand, as required for their livestock species, under the current Biosecurity and Agriculture Management (Identification and Movement of Stock and Apiaries) Regulations 2013. What will change The following changes will occur once the amended regulations have been introduced: Owners will have a choice either to stop or to continue to earmark or brand stock. What will stay the same Once the amended regulations have been introduced: Owners will continue to be able to earmark or brand if they wish to do so. DPIRD will continue to issue brands and earmarks to all registered owners and to maintain the stock brand register. Owners who continue to earmark and/or brand will still be required to use their allocated earmark and brand (registered identifiers). It will remain an offence to use someone else’s identifiers or to create identification marks that will cause confusion with registered identifiers.
