The Visitor Register is an example of the type of record that should be kept of anyone coming onto the property - including social calls, deliveries, livestock transport vehicles and service providers such as stock and station agents and bank representatives. This particular pad is also designed to take the place of other logs - eg. deliveries. Records are particularly important for tracing in the event of a disease outbreak but they can serve a dual purpose - so you can combine your visitors log and your deliveries log and ensure you have accurate records without much extra effort.
