Calling Scottish Sheep Farmers

A theoretical question

I know movement rules are different in Scotland but if one took a few sheep in a trailer to an event at which they were the sole livestock. Let them out into a pen for an hour, loaded them and returned to the original holding would said event need a holding number. The whole process will take less than an hour and the sheep will be in transpo for less than an hour each way. I hav searched the Scottish Gov website and can’t find any info on events or rest stops etc so your help would be much appreciated even if it’s who would need to be contacted to get the necessary info.

Confused Cumbrian asking for a friend.

I would just stay Shzum - otherwise any attempt to go through the proper process could trigger a Diplomatic Incident.

There is probably nothing in the regulations which covers how ' a sheep magical-mystery tour' should be recorded.

Don't know the answer but if you need to be right ask SAMU

So, you were moving your sheep from one part of your holding to another part of same holding, had a mechanical breakdown en route and let them out for an hour for welfare reasons, right?

I wouldn’t raise paperwork for an intra holding movement.

Oh well If you had said that I’m the first place ffs , Ofcourse they will why even ask ?
Because I couldn’t work out why in England it’s as simple as ticking a box but in Scotland you have to get assigned a holding number for a car park which will never ever be needed again and it takes six weeks. It just seemed like we were being given a story to put us off, but it would seem not by the answers on here hence I called in a few favours and we now have a holding number for a car park

Perhaps so but if you had been straight in the first post you would have got more straight answers. And getting involved in that guff to begin with wtf , when your their ask them how much carbon their little get together at our expense has cost in ££ and carbon realised.

What’s the carbon amount burnt in taking an Ifor of sheep on a needless journey from Cumbria to Glasgow and back, I wonder. It’s not like Glasgow doesn’t have its own productive farm within the city already.
They are going half an hour down the road, I’m just helping arrange it, mind maybe the should be flown in by helicopter like the rest of the over blown muppets

If you’re going to COP26, tie some binder twine round your ankles. Apparently the place is hoaching with rats between the fly tipping and the bin mens strike, which is now ‘resolved’ but will take a magic wand to fix.
The current joke doing the rounds is that the delegates from the ‘developing world’ say they feel perfectly at home in Glasgow…
