They are among 150,000 returns across NSW that are due to be lodged by August 31.
The returns are a census for livestock on June 30 each year and include all stock six months or older.
Murray Local Land Services general manager Gary Rodda said it was important to complete an Annual Land and Stock Return even if land managers have no stock.
“If the Annual Land and Stock Return isn’t lodged by August 31, an animal health rate and meat industry levy will automatically be applied to next year’s rates notice,” Mr Rodda said.
Farmers can lodge their land and stock returns at www.lls.nsw.gov.au.
