Selling sheep & flock numbers
« on: May 25, 2018, 07:46:08 pm »
Quick question which may or may not be a silly one...

I’m selling for the first time, a couple of finished lambs at market tomorrow. I have download the form from the markets website, to travel with the animals. It asks for number of animals and the flock number. Is this my flock number, or the flock number they originally came from?

Many thanks.

Are you talking about a movement document for England if so it says no of animals left side of box and then you put the flock number taken from the lambs tags in the right box . If they have a single slaughter tag this is all you can write in ,if they are double tagged you can also put in each ones individual number

Really sorry, but it depends on the form and section. 

If the info is in a table where you put the quantity of animals in the left column, then the flock number in the next column, then that is the flock number on their ear tags. 

If it's in the info section about you, then it's your own flock number, irrespective of whether these sheep were born there.

Thank you. That’s really helpful
