records medicine-purchases- administrations

feed records

general tidiness

vermin control

clean cattle trailer

handling facilities

up to date blue book

good fences ( no contact with neighbouring animals)

foot wear disinfection

farm safety sign

safety statement (fill out the one online and print off)

medicine cabinet

spray cabinet

used needles container

know the residency requirement for qa stock = 70 days

stocking density in sheds if they're inside

its a harmless inspection, don't worry

if theres anything out of place they'll re inspect in x days time

1:Medicine records and traceability (where purchased)
2: Safety statement
3: animal register/ movements

last audit was sticky enough, we passed but a new entrant failed don't know the reason


asked for proof of dog worming and asked to see the receipt and packaging

map of vermin bait locations, if you say you have cats, you will need proof of worming

I love the one of having records of worming the dog, can anyone tell me how this effects producing quality beef? Last audit I said terrier was the neighbours and was told I still needed record of worming as he was around the farm, wounder if I should try worming all the wild animals that might come in contact with the animals out in the fields, don't fancy trying to give a drench to a Fox or badger though!!!!
