Thats what i thought doesnt really matter as they will be sold live but will i be able to say they on a van numberStill 90 days as far as I know
It's nothing to do with FA is it ?

No, the van number is linked to the holding they were on at the time, so you can’t sell from your holding with someone else’s van number.
Irrelevant. But you will need your own VAN if you sell for killing.
So if i sell within 90 days i will also have to get a van number as well as rt more red tape

I know that but some of these cattle could be away within 90 days it never used to matter but now you need a van or rt for the abbatoirs to export offals etc
If you’re RT assured you don’t need VAN as well

Just ring your vet up and tell them to get you a VAN number, they’ve obviously been on farm within the last 12 months for your annual health review for RT so it’s just a paperwork exercise for them to do the VAN
That’s exactly what my vet did for me, had a visit last May using the Animal Health and Welfare Review grant or whatever it’s called. Did RT paperwork but I was destocked when they wanted to do audit so I got a VAN number from him to sell some stock in December before they delayed the VAN requirement

Can you sell deadweight with VAN then ?

There might be some that take unassured but I know Dunbia has to be farm assured
In the live ring yes not one of the buyers is bothered about rt its just since this van thing started you have to be one or the other for them to export offals etc
Just thought what’s the point of RT when you have the vet once a year now anyway but obviously the cartel are still tied in with it. TBF I could bin it anyway as we mainly sell live nowadays.
And woodheads again its for the benefit of the supermarkets

Apparently Woodhead’s were buying hoggs at Darlington last week, do they normally buy from the ringside or are they really short of numbers?
Been for the last 3 weeks so will probably be buying van as well as rt its a,load of bol****s the whole thing
Totally agree, been doing it for years.

Wouldn’t be a bad thing for someone with a bit of time on their hands to watch and see if that’s what they’re doing, there’s still a lot of FA lambs going live so they might be being selective
