Sheep movement regs for owner of sheep keep

[Gander]

Wasn't sure how to title this..or where to put it, thought here would be best in case some non livestock farmers might have an idea.

If I were to have sheep in for keep over the winter, simply providing the grass NOT the every day looking after them, I presume I do not become a sheep keeper, is this correct?

If so, what records should I keep? Am I responsible for recording movements or is this down to the 'sheep keeper'? Do I just need to keep a register of sheep on the farm and ensure that any movements do not clash with my own cattle movements?

Thanks in advance.

As I understood it the keeper hasn't changed in a case like this.There is a box to tick on a movement form for" movement within your business where you remain in day to day control" so I guess the owner fills it in.

i'dve thought you'd get a page of the movement licence when they arrive and the be on standstill for 6 days

Ask the grazier to apply for a temporary holding number for your land. They then notify the move and record in their movement book but has no effect on you and importantly absolves you of any potential cross compliance breeches.
