Title: standstill??
Post by: colfarmer on September 13, 2012, 09:46:01 pm

does this mean no pigs can move on or off your holding, or just no pigs can move off, but more can come on, extending the 20 day standstill on pigs moving off? so confused!! thanks

if you bring pigs on the standstill keeps on going for 20 days from the last movement on to your holding         but you can send to slaughter even in the standstill period :farmer:
