Introducing Livestock in Transit Delivery Warranty
How it works
If the livestock are not delivered alive (or require humane euthanasia), you’ll receive compensation for the value of the stock lost, as well as any associated recovery and disposal costs. We cover:
- Accidental death during transit by road, rail or foot (for example: due to heat stroke, suffocation or vehicle accident)
- Slaughter for humane reasons due to injuries sustained in transit.
For vendors, cover starts when livestock enter the loading ramp of transport vehicle until fall of hammer at auction or agreed delivery point if private sale.
For buyers, cover starts from fall of the hammer until livestock leave loading ramp at delivery point.
Please note: you must purchase or sell the livestock through an Elders agent.
Fees
Livestock in Transit Delivery Warranty is a small investment for peace of mind. For either vendor or buyer, the warranty fee is calculated as 0.45 per cent of the transaction value, excluding GST. This equates to just 45c for $100 lamb, or $4.50 for a $1,000 steer.
Terms and conditions apply. Please read the full terms and conditions.
To make a claim, simply notify your Elders representative of the livestock deaths within 48 hours of an incident. We will confirm details of the loss with you, calculate damages payable and compensate you accordingly.
