Hi,
I'm trying to find some additional land that I can put our Kunes on to graze for a few months.
We're in a crofting region. If someone were to offer me an acre or two would there be any problem with me moving them there for a month or more? I wouldn't have a lease or tenancy but presumably the croft would have a CPH number. I realise I couldn't move them off again for at least 21 days.
-
Make sure the croft has a CPH no (don't just presume) and remember to accompany the movement with an AML2 licence and you should be fine.
-
Thanks, that's what I thought, although I'm learning not to assume anything where pigs re concerned :)
-
We notified our local SGRPID who asked us for the OS reference of the field we lease to add it to our holding (using our existing CPH number). You will need to contact your local office as I think they each operate slightly differently.
-
ambriel, I'm sure you won't forget that if you move your pigs onto someone else's holding you also put them on a 21 days standstill for pigs and a 6-day standstill for everything else (at least those are the rules in England) - so you'll need to liaise with them about the date.
Equally, you will need to check with them about recent on-movements they've made when the time comes to bring your Kunes home again.

No, but well worth noting. Thanks.
