Extra cattle

So we use a cattle management app and it’s great, great way to have information to hand such as checking calf ages in the morning as feeding. Yesterday morning found an extra 20 cattle on my herd list, with an “estimated on movement” for 16th April, which is a little weird as I think I’d notice an extra 20 animals. How can someone move on to the wrong holding number??? Obviously be straight on phone to BCMS Monday morning but how can that even happen??? They weren’t there Friday.

Herdwatch. They just report/ record the movement to/from your holding number so guessing someone at BCMS has made an error somewhere? More think about it more can’t understand how

I use Herdwatch and you don't put in the purchasers herd number, only report an off movement. So it sounds like it's come from BCMSs end, and when the app updated your herd list (which it does periodically) they would have appeared.

Yeah that’s my thoughts, however it’s the same with BCMS though? You can only move things on and off your own holding? If I wasn’t on the app everyday wouldn’t have even noticed.
