- Avoid entering cattle yards or handling areas unless directed
On-Site Controls

Vehicles

Livestock Biosecurity (SP Pastoral Controls)
SP Pastoral maintains higher-level controls for livestock operations, including:

- Internal livestock transport (where applicable)
- No commingling with unknown livestock
These controls operate independently of visitor activity.
