Hi guys, just got the letter from the department with my flock number, will I receive a flock register automatically or will I have to order one, also i am assuming I can't buy any stock until I get a flock register

Not sure

Ring your local DVO and ask.
Get your sheep register book and a dispatch book as well while your on the phone with the DVO.

You have to send naps in with the application form, and yes there will be an inspection, but they don't seem to be as strict compared to applying for a herd number

Dispatch book did not come automatically to me. Rang in, and it arrived in ten days or so.

What do they look at with the inspection. Do they check land is enclosed or just handling facilities?

Generally you just need an enclosed field with a pen in it.

What website can you use to get the maps from. The only ones I can find with the acreage on are really old ones with lots of new boundaries and roads and stuff missing. Thanks
