    Hi, hopefully someone will have the answer to this query. We ( my husband and I) have our own farm / Herd Number and are getting our grants etc.
    My father in law is transferring half of his farm over to my husband but for 6 years they will be in partnership in this parcel of land before its fully his. They will have to get a joint a/c and a separate new herd number specially for this parcel of land.
    My question is Can a farmer have 2 herd numbers at the same time??? Any one that has gone through this or knows the pros and con pls help!
    Thanks

    Depends on your land and facilities. If you have land with separate handling facilities etc your own herd number may be a good way to go as the finances will be separate.
    However if you can't keep the 2 herds completely separate the joint herd number is the way to go.

    Think the joint herd number as it will be very hard to keep the two herds separate on top of everything else!! Am in early 30's not done green very yet, should there be any real issue with department if I apply to be joint herd number holder now?
