Wandering Stock

Control of Stock

You must keep stock confined on all sides by a proper and adequate stock proof fence.

When grass is slow or there is insufficient feed for the number of animals being kept, stock will continuously test the boundary.

Make sure you:
  • keep the fences well maintained
  • lock or spring load gates
  • regularly test electric fences
  • put a contact phone number on horse covers.

Stock on the road at night are a very serious hazard.

Wandering stock can be impounded.

To report stock wandering please contact Tauranga City Council Call Centre on 07-577-7000.

Note: When calling to advise of wandering stock please note the colour of the animals, the direction they are heading and what side of hte road that they are on.
