Sheep and goat condensed guidance
In Scotland, sheep and goat identification and traceability are vital for disease prevention, control, eradication and the protection of public health. This condensed guidance is designed to be a handy companion to, and complement, the existing sheep and goat guidance already available.
Markets and show moves
All movements of sheep and goats to markets or shows must be reported on and off both the market and the holding of departure and destination.
Although markets report moves on behalf of their customers, it is imperative that keepers review the final details and that the reporting of their animals is correct. Ultimate responsibility remains with the keeper, not the market.
