Calf passports

[Farmersdaughter]

Think we might of messed up on registration of a few calves. My mother who is in self isolation usually registers the calves, but due to her self isolating and the fact the girl who does the calves, sister was ill we miss registering some calves in the 27 days. Do you think it is worth talking to bcms? A few years ago when we miss one calf it was a real pain getting it sorted. I don't like to lie and would rather that bcms have us some slack in these difficult times.

I would just sort it out. If you are due a TB test then that will add to more hassle. Bit young to be eating it so you'll have to keep it. Speak to bcms or vets. Eat it later on yes but worth getting it sorted all correct.

They do seem more flexible than in the early days.
At 1st if you missed the 28 days you needed a big freezer !

Depends what the problem is, we recently had a calf’s passport refused, turns out the dam, a heifer had been registered as male.
Easily sorted, returned the dams passport for correction and a calf’s passport could then be issued.
BCMS are very helpful, most unlike a govt department ?

BCMS are a totally different kettle of fish to most other government departments, they won’t treat you like a criminal and are quite helpful
