It is my understanding that the sheep are currently held in a registered feedlot and being cared for appropriately. The options and next steps are a matter for the company concerned, given that they remain in the domestic supply chain. It is also a matter for the Western Australian government to regulate. This is now a commercial matter between them and the Western Australian government. But, of course, we'd support efforts to ensure that the welfare of these animals is protected.
