Title: Movement licence for tame lambs??
Post by: SheepMad95 on April 07, 2014, 07:55:18 pm

Going to get some tame lambs tomorrow, do you need a movement licence? I swear I read some
Where you don't but I could be dreaming!


Thanks in advance :)

99.99% sure you do.  It is only a simple form AML/1 (animal movement licence 1), and as the receiving keeper, you need to send it to your local Animal Health Dept - often Trading Standards at the County Council Office.  But I stand to be corrected :thinking: .

The movements are no longer sent to Trading Standards

New form (but you can still use the old for a bit I am told) sent to ARAMS  http://www.arams.co.uk/ (http://www.arams.co.uk/)

A pet lamb is no different to any other lamb in terms of disease control so all the same regulations apply. You need a CPH number, flock number, movement licence, medicine book, flock register.

Thanks all for replying! I have a cph number and all that, I live on a farm! Just haven't bought in tame lambs for years so didn't really know!

Thanks though
