Pig tags

I've had conflicting advice, and search isn't helping.

If I sell some weaners or store pigs at a store mart, do they need our tags in?

Last weaners I saw at a mart didn't have any tags.
We've only sold finished before and always tag.



If someone buys weaners or stores off us privately do they need our tags in?
Do they need to apply their own tags when going to slaughter?

Has to have a tag, slap mark or ear tattoo unless it is under twelve months and moving directly to another farm, in which case it can have a temporary spray mark.
So to go through market it must have one of the above permanent methods, but as you are selling direct, it can have the temporary mark.

Thank you.
That's what I thought but have had a few people tell me conflicting advice!
