My mother-in-law is getting some sheep at the weekend which will trigger the weeks standstill on her pigs.  But she's got a cull sow to go the slaughter market next week - is that movement exempt from the standstill because it's a dedicated slaughter market or will she have to wait until after the standstill and take her the week after?  (The sow tried to kill the boar so she's on a fast trip out of there!)

I'm sure it's exempt, but we've both been looking on the defra site for confirmation but it's like finding a needle in a haystack. 

Thanks in advance

  Hi yes exemption applies to red market days and slaughter houses, so your OK to get her off.

Thanks, that's what we hoped
