    Go on to Agfood and generate a movement permit. If it says no, you will have to test her.

    Heifer needs to have been tested in last 12 months.

    Will the sale be still cost effective after having to pay for testing 1 animal?





  • I thought it had to be within 6 months of test unless a calf under 42 days, or did I misread the requirements.

    The 6 months test rule has to do with cows and males over 36 months of age - they must be tested within 6 months and the herd that is selling them must have had a test within 6 months also, otherwise the herd that buys them in must test them within 30 days of arrival. If you don't test that animal within 30 days than she/he is restricted until either tested or slaughtered - you don't need to test it for slaughter. There are more rules re herd restriction etc.
