Sheep Keepers will record the single identified lambs by batch recording the Number of Animals and Flock Numbers. Lambs born in 2014 and identified with a single, non-electronic tag DO NOT need to be retagged when moved after 1 st January CULL EWES Those individually identified with electronic tags will be electronically read and recorded. For those individually identified with the old style Manual/Non-Electronic Tags (Historic Flock) it is our recommendation that Sheep Keepers retag these at the time of selling with a set of double electronic tags. However rules do permit: Those sheep being moved as a Batch direct to slaughter (including through a market) using old manual tags as the identifier list the total number in each consignment BUT If these sheep move to a non-abattoir holding or through a market to a non-abattoir holding, they must have their individual manual/non electronic tags (UK +(up to) 12 digits) read and recorded on the Movement Licence. We recommend any Historic Flock with old style non electronic tags be sold with a declaration to slaughter. Please ensure all Ewes sold are tagged with electronic tags we will read them and provide you with print outs of numbers failure could impact upon your Single Farm Payment Monies. If in doubt please speak to Keith on or James on
