Was it just me, or did others get the wrong idea about this thread? I thought that perhaps all kids were going to have a big plastic eartag and would need a movement licence to take them to school :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
No your not the only one. It's EID compulsory for children or can they be management only? What's the max age for tagging? How long is the other species standstill? Etc etc
And castration rings while there being held anyway.....
Would analgesia be required for ringing?

As for the OP question, I asked the opposite of the RPA 3 years ago (amalgamating 2 herds and holdings) and was told it couldn't be done without closing one down and the other buying all the stock.

This really winds me up. My parents were giving up a block of land they due to slowing down. I took on the land and applied for a CPH No. Then because i wanted to use there handling facilities they just got awkward. Wanted me to get a vets report to satisfie Tb testing protocol. Whole thing dragged on so long told them to stick it... Know just grow fodder on the land too sell. Make more money than keeping cattle on it and less hassle!!
They say they want the younger generation to get into agruculture but when it comes to it there is just no insentive or help!!!

I tried to get 2 holding and flock numbers, even dad having 1 and me the other but because same owner’s they wouldn’t let us, this was on 2 separate farms 3 mile apart. I wanted them separate because 1 would be organic at home and the other would be for short term rented land of conventional ewes. As it was within 10mile they wouldn’t give us 2 flock numbers or holding numbers, the flocks never mix or go near each other even yet if i buy in on 1 I’m locked down for 6 days 3-4 miles away 🤦🏻‍♂️
It is possible to get 2 CPHs within the same business, within 10 miles,

They gave a separate holding number to my wife. She genuinely needed one for her few pigs which were nothing to do with the farm partnership. Pigs were in same shed as our cattle. Never had any problems. Both holding numbers registered to same addreas. That was a few years ago though.
That to me seems completely wrong.

So you could move cattle onto your holding number today and your wife could take pigs out of the same shared air space shed the next day.
Isn’t that is exactly what the x day standstill is supposed to stop.

Yes, that's right.

In practice, we never did that. Didn't have any need to, and it made sense to be sensible.

Do they know what their doing ,seems like one hand don't know what the other is doing???
When I moved to Somerset from Warwickshire, I rang up for a holding number of my own to keep my sheep separate from @Henarar's cattle. They gave me my own holding number. Then had to ring up about something a few months later and they said I couldn't use my holding number I had to use the one for the farm. So I did. Then when I had to ring up again a year or so later I was told to use my holding number not the farm one. So no, they don't know what they are doing.

She needs a landless keeper CPH. It will end with a 7000 number. It is her CPH number and she can then get her own flock number. She can still keep stock on your land, but the movements etc are her responsibility. She would move them on and off your holding using your CPH (not the landless one). If you get an inspection, they won't be interested in her stock as you're not the "keeper". You don't keep records for her stock, she does. Obviously standstill rules apply.
