If your livestock or poultry are killed by a wild animal, you need to make a claim within 48 hours of discovering the dead animal.
We encourage you to take three to six photographs of the injured or killed livestock, including photos of location in relation to buildings, etc. This will assist the livestock valuer in completing their assessment in case they are delayed in visiting the site or if weather is a factor.
We will send a livestock valuer to investigate the situation within three days of receiving the claim. The livestock valuer will investigate and provide a report (Program Application) to the Municipality within 10 business days. If you disagree with the livestock valuers report, you have 20 days to request a review by a second livestock valuer. If there are no requests for review, the Municipality can issue payment to you.
