don't forget that this should be done today or in the next few days
-
I don't think I've had the form this year. Now what?
-
mine came in an e-mail 4 days ago to be done today or in the next few days .I have usually just put it into a book but I think a lot more is becoming electronic.
-
I've never been sent a form, not in the last six years anyway.
-
I've not had the form either, last year I had it, sent it in then they claimed they hadn't had it >:( . I sent another but warned them I wouldn't be doing it a third time. If they send me a form I'll complete it. Otherwise they can whistle, I have the records here and they have my address and email add.
-
This was sent electronically this time so check your emails as there is a two week window and no reminder. There may be a link on the defra website.
-
Wasn't working when I tried....technical fault apparently..... ::)
-
What exactly is it?
-
Normally you are sent a paper form that you fill in to show how many of each animal you keep. Now they are doing this electronically.
-
does this include Wales as not had anything here yet
-
Ours still came in paper format (it is pink), but we are in Scotland. Ours is to be done today. I love the questions they ask you at the end about how many pieces of totally random machinery - different random ones each year - this year it is hedge cutters and cattle weigh crates.
-
I've never even heard of this, nor have I got anything ??? ???
-
If you have a cph number, any livestock (sheep, goats, chickens) you normally get a flock return form in December which must be returned by end of the month. I suppose if they don't contact you then don't worry. If concerned though contact your council contact who gets your movement forms for advice.
-
Mmmmmh... :-\ I normally only have to complete my sheep/goats form (by the end of January with a count on 01st January each year) and that comes from the Scottish Government. I only had to complete the DEFRA form once and was then told to be too small to count.... so never done anything either.
They certainly don't have my email address!
-
As far as I am aware, it usually comes somewhen in December, to be completed by Jan 01 or am I wrong?
-
Just done mine online. Got an email from defra with a link. Only took a few minutes and was able to print a copy for my records. :sheep:
-
Received ours in the post on Friday. Reply paid envelope says Office for National Statistics, presumably keeping track of the national sheep flock. Maybe you don't get flagged up if you have just a few sheep and rarely move them ....?
-
If they emailed me I'd do it?
Can anyone put the link on here or is the link specific for your own property?
-
I got one and I only have 5 sheep mainly as lawnmower.
-
Only get the welsh sheep/goat one in January.
The first year I was here before I had any stock I got a different one in June about land use, not had one since.
-
I got one last year, but nothing as yet... Cant find a link on defra website either..
-
Just completed mine online. Very quick and easy (but a bit big-brother :-\ ). The link went down but was back up in a few minutes. Not sure I want to do the flock book online though...
-
I've never heard of it - I guess I'll wait 'til they send me something.
-
If they emailed me I'd do it?
Can anyone put the link on here or is the link specific for your own property?
Specific to your own CPH/keeper number I'm afraid. When I clicked on the link in the email it already had my address in it and I had to confirm it was correct. I think it is sent out by your local defra office as had my address details not been correct I was to give the York office a call on the number they had provided (the York code).
-
It sounds like there are 2, the one for just sheep and goats and the full inventory, mine is for sheep and goats in my keeping on December 1st, arrived and filled it in on Nov 30th, just hoped nothing would go wrong before Sunday.
Last year I got a reminder even though I'd posted it straight away, so this year I'll wait a few days, obviously they can't cope with farmers filling forms in on time :-)
-
DEFRA says Welsh one not due till Jan so I can stop worrying so can anyone else in Wales who has read this!
-
So in Wales when will we get ours? I haven't had one last year but had no movements is it true that you don't get one if had no movements or have I fallen off a list somewhere?
