    Normally the tags of the cows that have been tested and the bull too. TBH it's easier to bring the whole lot in.

    Make sure the forms are complete and the carbon naviigator filled

    We had one and only thing checked was tags . He did some check on drugs while here. No issues straightforward is my only experience so far of inspection

    over anyway, very straight forward, just checked the button tags from last years years selection that were still in herd, 5 min job, bit bizarre really

    i'd like to see the inspection if you took hair sample instead of using button tag:D

    I have one tomorrow and I'm just wondering regarding the carbon navigator do they need the whole excel spreadsheet or will the print out from icbf suffice given its less detailed from the first one that was complete by a planner?
