Health Declarations

National Animal Health Declarations, also known as  National Health Statements, applies to cattle, sheep and goats. Pigs require vaccination certification and a recommended on-farm bio-security plan to assure buyers stock is disease free. A Health Declaration is important to buyers if they intend to show, race, breed or resell livestock.
