The ABCRA Campdraft Cattle reserve fund has been established to mitigate the financial loss for committees and cattle donors/hirers due to the death or injury of livestock used at ABCRA affiliated events.

Livestock used in competitive events have never been covered by any insurance and still aren’t. The ABCRA Cattle reserve fund is to assist committees in covering the loss of animals in competition only (Care, custody & control). The ABCRA is the only association that assists committees with these losses.

Protection for a committee commences when the committee or its agent takes delivery of the cattle and ceases on the return of the livestock back into the care of the owner. (e.g. when unloaded and received at the event facilities or once loaded at the event facilities to go home).

Cattle may travel by Truck or be walked from the owner’s property to the Campdraft ground.

Exclusions from the fund are cattle involved in trucking accidents that occur between the cattle owners’ property and the Campdraft ground. Carriers must provide insurance coverage for accidents and rollover as defined in the Marine Insurance cover or indemnify the committee and ABCRA against any loss that occurs whilst in the possession or control of the carrier. Any loss that is or should be covered by Marine insurance by the carrier. Any costs associated with the disposal of deceased or injured animals.

This fund is not an insurance policy. The administration of the scheme is at the discretion of the ABCRA. Contributions to the fund do not of themselves create a liability or commitment of ABCRA to approve a payout in every case or any particular case.
