Supposed to check every 4 years or so. He admitted to me that they are not so concerned with the smaller land owner, more the big farms with lots of comings and goings of livestock etc.
Looked at some of the goats to check the ear tags, but declined a visit to any of the intact males (now why would that be?)
Insisted on looking inside the horse trailer, even though I told him we did not carry the goats in it.
Rapped my wrists over two dead goats with no receipt from the slaughterman, but that was cos I paid cash.....but make sure I do now of course.
Picked out 3 movement forms and asked me to show him the goats in my register, and then congratulated me of my good book keeping.
Informed me that they can do weight checks on any iffy bags of feed, or test for the content if need be, which I did not know, so that was useful.
