This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to manage the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) responsibilities for sheep or goats purchased directly from a producer or vendor, prior to their arrival at an abattoir.

This unit applies to stock buyers who are responsible for purchasing livestock directly from producers.

All work should be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, customer requirements and product specifications.

This unit applies to individuals who work under broad direction and take responsibility for their own work including limited responsibility for the work of others. They provide and communicate solutions to a range of predictable problems.

No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.

This unit must be delivered and assessed in the context of Australian meat processing standards and regulations.
