Western Australian Consolidated Acts Western Australian Consolidated Acts (1) A person who takes
delivery of a consignment of stock shall not, within 6 months of so
taking delivery, remove any registered brand that is upon the stock at the
time of so taking delivery, but nothing in this subsection shall be construed
as preventing a person from removing a registered brand in the form of a
woolbrand from sheep in the ordinary course of shearing the sheep and branding
the sheep after shearing with his registered brand or from re-branding with
his registered brand any sheep on which the woolbrand had become illegible
prior to the time of his taking delivery of the sheep.
(2) A person shall not
remove a registered eartag from any goat, sheep, deer or camelid that is on
agistment away from the run of the owner of the animal, and where any eartag
on such an animal is lost from the ear during agistment, only the tag of the
lawful owner may be used in replacement of the lost eartag.
