Search Animal Health.
Find your closest and call them. They will talk it all through with you.
Go on scoteid.com to register there as much easier to notify your pig movements than by paper and may soon be required by law.

Call the animal health. First form they sent me was a land change of use form and was not the right one, but the person I spoken to at animal health got me exactly the right details and a form to apply for a landless keeper holding number (cph) and the chap I bought my first pigs from told me how to register on the scoteid.com website.

Well Just filled the form in online and at the end it said Here is your Business ref number. Got the form online after following what I was told on the phone. Told them the pigs were just for us and about 3 people said fill that form in???

I just did mine and had to get a holding number (cph) before getting a herd number. Prob different in England though. Was told the cph was to register the land as having types of livestock on and herd number was specific to each species I had

Right rung up about a CPH yesterday and after getting past round half of Scotland got thought to someone. Who told us what form to look for on the internet. Found the form And it was about a Business (Rural Payments Servicers) Rung them back and said no we just want to keep a few pigs for the table for us where not a business. Was told to go back on the internet and get a form and fill it in. It was the same form??? We just want a CPH number so does this sound right? Anyway filled form in and have just got an email back saying approved. But nothing about a CPH number. Does any of this ring a bell with some one
As I have said where in Scotland
