My Ryeland ewes are arriving today.  Am I correct in thinking that I will then have a six day stand still on the farm.  I want to send some hoggets to the abattoir for our own consumption? 
I could not find the bit on the DEFRA website to confirm this.
Thank you.

Well, I'm in Scotland where we have a longer standstill, but I think the basic rules are the same.  There is no standstill if animals are going directly to slaughter, so you can send them off as planned.

I think is current because it was linked from http://www.defra.gov.uk/food-farm/animals/movements/sheep/
though Defra is not good at keeping definitive info current.


Note six days means seven days cos its six back from the one you're on.

You are on standstill for 6 days, but you can still send anything to slaughter during standstill, but not to another farm.
