Cattle MAP MN1, MN2 & MN3 herds were given a J-BAS score of 8
- Free Zone (WA) herds were given a J-BAS score of 8
- Protected Zone (Qld and NT & pastoral SA) were given a J-BAS score of 7

If you wish to maintain access to the WA and NT market or simply maintain your transitional J-BAS score after 30 June 2017 it is very important that you read the attached information.
If a Biosecurity Plan relevant to BJD is not implemented by 30 June 2017 your J-BAS score will revert to zero from 1 July 2017.
