Feedlot · Arrivals

Count every line off the truck, and the load stays together wherever it goes.

Count each line against what the NVD declared, with the declared head one tap away. Until the cattle are inducted they’re one group in their pen, and every animal inducted keeps the truck and the NVD it came on.

From the arrivals of a 10,000-head feedlot

Since April, 98 in every 100 head that came in are tied to the load they came on, and 93 in every 100 of those to the NVD that declared them.

Arrivals April to October 2026, counted on 9 October 2026.

The count

The count starts from the paperwork. Each line offers its declared head in one tap, never filled in, and anything lost on the road is its own answer.

Each line as a tally of its declared head, beside the phone's count: Line 1, Angus steers, 62 declared and 62 counted; Line 2, Angus heifers, 63 declared and 62 counted, the one that died in transit dropping out of its tally.

Until induction

Until they’re tagged, the load moves as one.

The arrival group knows how many head are in each pen and how many are still to induct, and moving a pen moves them with it.

Feed before induction

Feed eaten before tagging is shared onto every animal. At induction each delivery to the pen is divided by the group’s head and costed on each animal.

The two deliveries to the group's pen, 620 kg and 348 kg, poured onto the 124 head once they are inducted: 7.8 kg on each.

FAQ

Questions feedlots ask about arrivals.

Can we receive a truck without signal?

Yes. The count, the trucks and the pens are recorded on the phone without signal and sent to the office when it’s back. Pages photographed out of signal stay with the arrival, and can be read in full once the phone is online again.

Platform
How does an eNVD come in?

Add its PDF to the arrival, and PaddockPath reads it the way it reads a paper one, every page and every line.

Do we have to book every load?

No. A load that turns up unbooked is recorded from its paperwork. When there is a booking, the vendor’s property code on the NVD finds it.

Can one load come on several trucks, or over two trips?

Yes. Each truck keeps its own papers, rego and weights, a line can be split across trucks, and More coming keeps an arrival open for the next trip.

What if our cattle were inducted on other crush software?

Import its file and each animal lands on its arrival. Common crush-software exports are recognised by their headers, rows are matched to their arrival by vendor and property code, and a row that fits none waits for a person.

Does the vendor get anything back?

The arrival report: what was consigned beside what came off, each truck with its papers and weights, signed for the feedlot. The office emails it to the vendor and the carrier.

How does this help with NFAS?

Every arrival keeps its NVD number and its scan, and the NFAS checks list any load not fully inducted within seven days of arriving.
