Buying from us

From catalogue to your paddock

Buying live animals interstate sounds harder than it is — but there are real steps, and we'd rather you knew them all up front.

We send animals to every state in Australia. If you are in WA or Queensland there are a couple of extra requirements — nothing difficult, and we walk you through them.

The process

How it goes, start to finish

Step one

Enquire or join the VIP waitlist

Tell us your setup, your fencing, what you're hoping for. We'll tell you honestly whether we have the right animal — and the VIP waitlist sees animals before the catalogue does.

Step two

Meet them

Video call, photos, or a visit by arrangement. Visits are by prior arrangement only — no drop-ins, because biosecurity here depends on knowing who has been in the paddocks and when. If you can't get to Freshwater Creek, we're just as happy to walk you around on a video call.

Step three

Deposit and contract

A deposit holds the animal and takes it off the available list. We'll confirm the amount with you once you've settled on which animal you're after. Our sale terms are on the terms page.

Step four

Paperwork

For cattle: NLIS transfer, vendor declaration, and society transfer where the animal is registered. You'll need a PIC — a Property Identification Code — for your own place before stock can move onto it. You apply for it through your state's agriculture department, and it's free. The NLIS transfer is then lodged within the required window once the animal has moved. We handle our side and walk you through yours.

Step five

Transport

We work with Andrew's Specialized Livestock (0448 423 977) and Horse Transport Australia, and can quote interstate movement — including to WA, which has extra requirements and longer lead times.

Step six

After they arrive

We don't disappear once the trailer leaves. Ask us anything, forever. We'd genuinely rather you called.

What we need from you

A PIC number for your property, suitable fencing and shelter, and at least one companion animal of the same species. We don't sell animals to live alone — not cattle, not goats, not sheep. It isn't a preference, it's how these animals work.
