Hi
We are going to be sending 3 hoggets to the local market to sell and I am getting myself tied up in knots trying to understand how they should be tagged - can anyone tell me in 'idiotspeak' what tags they should have please?
1. I bought them in as Cade lambs and they currently have the birth holdings single non-eid tag in
2. They will be over 12 months old when they go
3. I have spoken to Scoteid, rural payments and SAMU and they have all given me different answers, and none of them sounded particularly knowledgeable or gave me confidence that they were telling me the right thing
Do I remove the original tag and replace with my own tag? (Not keen on that one for obvious reasons)
Do I leave the original tag in and add my own tag plus put my own electronic tag in?
Should my tags be the red replacement tags or just the normal (in my case) orange and yellow tags?
I have had variations of all of the above suggested to me -
