Flock Register

brownswiss

The new Flock register does not have a section to record individual tag numbers of the total flock just sections to record events.

If the Dept inspects the Register how can they verify that the number of sheep entered on the census was correct without doing a head count.

On the old register was'nt one supposed to enter all tag numbers once a year ???

epfff

Dont think so
If so I better lose it,quick

At this stage, brownswiss, i dont think any farmer has a bloody clue what paperwork goes where in the sheep flock.

For any dept official who may be reading this FFS GET THE FINGER OUT AND GIVE US SOME BLOODY INDICATION WHAT THE F*&K WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.

Its one thing to be responsible for movement and tagging when you are adequitely informed but when even the dept officials i contact for information havent a clue, how the f*&k am i to be held responsible when there is almost no information available.

Rant over. For now.............:mad::mad:

No you were never required to enter tag nos. you are required to count the flock and enter the numbers of ewes lambs rams etc, and record these details in your register

if the dept wish to find out the no. at a certain date they will work from the previous flock summary and use the dispatch documents of movements both inwards and outward

You do have to record tag numbers in the flock register as you tag your sheep. there is no need to re-record the tag numbers of all the sheep each year. The census which must also be recorded in the front of the register is you annual stock take.

• If you are selling sheep, the tag numbers will be recorded on the dispatch docket - so all you have to record is the serial no. of dispatch docket and use code S
• Same applies if you buy sheep that are tagged with EID tags - i.e. no need to tag or upgrade then all you record is the serial number of the dispatch docket (the vendors one) use code P
• If you are retagging sheep that have lost tags or ones that you are upgrading to EID by removing the tags of origin you need to record the new tags in the register - use code R
• If you are taging ewe lambs that you intend to keep then use code T and record tag numbers in the register - if you get an inspection the inspector will read a proportion of the ewe flock and then check the register to ensure that the tags are recorded in it.
