I have my ram being delivered on Saturday  but I may potentially have purchased two lambs for my four year old daughter. Am I right in thinking the ram won't Tigger a standstill as its during breeding season or will I have to wit the 13 days before I can let ewe lambs come? Ram is coming from a different place to potentional ewe lambs.

the standstill only affects animals leaving your holding, not coming onto it, so you will be fine.

Oh excellent. Two new lamb would be well away from other girls and tup is going in with others. I will have a very happy four year old now

And sheep are only a week for movement restrictions not 13 days x

[shygirl]

unless you are in Scotland, then its 13 days.

[Sbom]

Oops, didn't realise there was such a difference

And sheep are only a week for movement restrictions not 13 days x

If I were you id double check that, its 13 days last I checked.

[bloomer]

Certainly in scotland its 13 days, but it only triggers when you move animals on and prevents you moving any of them off except direct to slaughter :-)

[fsmnutter]

Does get more complex if you have pigs tho lol, sheep or pigs coming on put a 20 day standstill on pigs.
There are also exceptions for stud males such as boars bulls and rams, or for shows, but I'll try not to blow your mind!

[Jamie12]

I'm in Scotland. Oksy so in theory I can collect daughters lambs tomorrow and receive tup on Saturday and not be doing anything wrong?

[SallyintNorth]

You can make 'on' movements (movements onto your holding) whenever you want.  Restrictions are on moving animals off your holding.

So yes, you can fetch the lambs for your daughter tomorrow, and the tup can arrive on Saturday, and all above board. 

[Jamie12]

Excellent.
