My holding register is currently at -25 sheep! It seems that when I sold the 29, the transporter registered it as a movement from my holding to the mart holding and then the mart also registered it as a movement from my holding to the buyers' holdings via the mart. I can't seem to figure out how to fix this - can I do it myself or do I have to ring them?
(Very pleased to see that while 3 of them are probably now no longer with us, the rest are all the way down in Devon and Somerset, 10 of them at what looks like a very posh estate - after being used to living on a Highland hill, they're going to think they've hit the jackpot with the grass down there!)

Update for anyone interested, the people at ScotEID were indeed lovely and helpful and said as long as my holding register here was correct, not to worry about it - it's something that happens when sheep go across the border from Scotland to England and get entered on the ARAMS system as well as ScotEID, it somehow creates duplicate entries.

Interesting, since the advice on ScotEID still says "19. If you keep an accurate register on ScotEID you do not need to keep a separate paper register." I wonder which one they regard as the "real" record.
I've been continuing to maintain the paper register but was intending to point the inspectors to the ScotEID register in the event of an inspection, to see what the reaction would be. As almost all my moves are via an auction mart I have had very little difficulty with ScotEID, apart from the wedder that turned up in a gathering in the neighbouring township 2 years after I had written him off as dead.
