Title: Paperwork when buying
Post by: cwmearl on March 18, 2013, 10:09:47 pm

I've been slowly ticking off the list of things to do before buying some sheep, but I'm still a bit unsure about some paperwork. I've been to a few show and sales to have a look, but if I go along to one and buy some sheep, what paperwork do I have to have with me and how does it work once you're the winner bidder? Thanks

Have a read of this article on here...pretty much explains all you need to know. The people at the Rural Payments Agency and Animal Health are also very helpful and patient (at least they were for me!).
