https://www.gov.uk/guidance/bluetongue-approved-slaughter-markets-and-designated-breeding-sales#move-animals-to-other-types-of-markets

For your application you will need the following details: -

The ear numbers and details of the animals.

The market CPH number 45/213/8000.

A ten digit grid reference for the market – you can use

SU1171429237, although there are a multitude of numbers within the market shed.

Our vets: Synergy Farm Health

Email: office@synergyfarmhealth.com

Once you have a licence number you can contact

admin@ukfarmcare.com to organise a blood test through your own vet,

it would be sensible to talk to your vet first. At this point you can clarify if you will have any costs.

You must apply for a licence at least 10 days before the movement date and your blood test will only last 7 days. The test day is day zero so you can do the test on the previous Tuesday (or Thursday 6th for Candlemas) to allow time to get the results. It would be sensible to reserve your place in the market and make sure you have haulage before you organise the blood test.

Please note we will be having a Store Cattle Sale on both Tuesday 11th and Thursday 13th February (Candlemas Sale).
