SCOTLAND - 13 DAY STANDSTILL

[sjewart]

Just want to clarify if I buy ewes and bring them home on Sunday can I buy a tup and bring him home to same cph number 5 days later?

I realise the ewes will trigger a standstill but with tups being exempt am I OK?

The ewes triggering a standstill only stops you moving stock off your holding. You can keep bringing stock on.

Any problem moving tups off my farm Sunday morning and moving ewes on Sunday afternoon?

 

[Crex]

Tups are exempt I believe.

No that isn't a problem.

You say '13 days'. Here it's 6 days. Does this mean each part of Britain is different, and, if so, why?

Hopefully someone can answer that one for you.

Yes, we have a longer standstill period up here. Further back in time it was actually 21 days but that was reduced .

The Ministry vets up here were wanted a standstill of more than a week, and I assume that's why we still have it.

Also in Scotland we have separation areas so no standstill on them

I don't have an isolation area but Im looking into it

Scotland is "scab free" and I think "TB free" so surely it's a good policy to have? I also think there's less hobby/smallholders in Scotland so far less chance of people who don't know what their doing being involved.

No, its not to be "awkward" @Hilly

I'd much rather have our stricter rules and therefore have the high health status which Scotland enjoys re TB/Scab/BVD/BSE etc (forgive me if that list is not 100%, I can't be bothered googling, but I'm sure you get where I'm coming from)

I do, the rules should be the same across the board, one for all and all for one.

Can't be though - not until health status is the same across the board.

The way things have gone they should bring back compulsory dipping.. selling stock for most people now is all about adhering to withdrawals of dectomax :/

Then I think they'd have to bring back the grants for sheep fanks with dippers, because I think that a huge number will have gone over the years, and frankly, I can't see that ever happening again.
