I do wonder how the movement will be done if they do not have tags?
i didn't say this
but its all theoretical so long as the pigs have numbers to travel on their paperwork theres very little chance of anybody in authority coming and actually checking your pigs ear numbers match the AML. Pigs lost tags in transit
if anyone asks.
Just make sure that the people you are bought them off have some original details (should be on their AML paperwork) You can tag the two going to slaughter with your herdmark & number and if the other two are forever pigs then don't worry whether they have tags or not, most of my keepers have either lost their tags or their tattoos have faded into oblivion, this would only be a problem if i was to move them off my holding.

right now i'll wait for all the rest to come on and rip what i've said to shreds
all i'm advocating is common sense which if we had systems fit for purpose would overule all the bureaucratic twaddle we have to put up with!
