Oh dear! I took my girls to be mated with a billy back in October and I completed a movement form on the arams website.
I thought it was fine to take them there and bring them back the same day! But now I realise that they should have stayed there for 6 days and in a defra approved holding area???
The lady I took them to has been keeping goats for 30+ years and didn't mention this to me. I don't think she filled in a movement form for the journey back (I'm guessing I cant do this bit as they came off her holding?)
I feel like iv made a big woopsy!
We are hoping to move to a new area later this year and obviously the goats will be coming with us. But will alarms bells ring at DEFRA when I do a new movement form to our new holding?
Sorry if that all sounds a bit garbled! Any thoughts any one? Should I fess up to defra now?
