Hi everyone, have just found this site for the first time and am finding the forum really useful/interesting!
I live near Neath and am hoping to get a couple of weaners soon, to be kept for meat.
I've read up as much as I can, got my fencing up and have converted a shed for them to live in. I'm trying to complete my CPH form but I'm a bit confused - it asks if they will be pets and for a 6 digit field/sheet reference number? I have no idea what this would be - do I print a map of the property off Google maps and do my own grid reference where they would be kept?? Sorry, probably a really daft thing to say but I'm a bit confused! 

Thanks in advance!

all fields have an ordnance survey number  don't think goggle prints this  on the o/s landranger maps they are dived up in grids these grid squares are printed and give more detail including the number that they want

[henchard]

National Grid maps adopted the convention of identifying a point roughly in the centre of the field and then naming it according to an abbreviated version of its 10 m grid reference. The kilometres portion of the grid reference may be inferred from the sheet number of the map sheet on which the field is located. The first two digits of the field number represent the hundreds and tens of metres of easting, and the third and fourth digits represent the hundreds and tens of metres of northing.

I worked mine out myself and sent them in for my holding number. However, once you start to get the forms sent to you for Single Farm Payments (not that you can claim unless you have entitlements) you will get sent official maps and their field numbers will probably be slightly different from your own! (Mine were)

If you are in Carmarthenshire you may want to phone the Welsh Assembly Government Office (01267 225300) in Carmarthen and see what they say is the best way to do it.

I have only recently moved in and found my map reference numbers were on the land registery map that came as part of a bundle from the solicitor.

When I completed the CPH form I said that I intend to keep a couple of pigs and maybe sheep/goats at some stage and that they would not be pets.

As Henchard has said, once you get the CPH you then get other forms CD (W) i.e. Customer Details (Wales). I have messed this form up so I'm not sending it in, but as it relates to running a business and Single Farm Payments (which I'm not entitled to) then I don't think it will matter.

I still need to get a pig heard number but don't have the fencing or housing yet so I have time.
