[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 6800683, member: 86168"] we used to buy a lot of calves, some farmers tagging methods leave a lot to be desired, by 14months, a lot of replacement tags ordered. Ordered some, phone call, trading standards were coming out, to speak to me, under caution ??????? anyway, rung them up, asked what was the problem, I had ordered a replacement tag, for a calf, that had gone to fallen stock months before, checked through my records, turned out, 2 calves, had diff tags in ears, 1 had uk 123456, and uk123457, with the other calf the same, result, 'oh, that's all right then' Also, in 2001, foot and mouth, sent artic load of stores, up north, months later, trading standards were disputing the age of the cattle, in an abattoir, suffice to say, the cattle described to me, were definitely not any we had sent north, never heard any result from that. But, if you have a problem, that you can't conveniently solve, BCMS, trading standards, and ministry vets, are usually helpful, but, a word of caution, cousin got in a mess, helped him sort it out, but £15,000 deduction on sfp, fine against each animal. But, in all fairness to BCMS the 28 day rule, is correct, as farmers, sometimes our paperwork, leaves a bit to be desired, and if not enforced, one could only imagine the mess. If you try to register a calf outside of those 28 days, on the website, it does tell you, and you can 'edit' !!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
