    I tried the Vet last week and was told it was on back order this long time and couldnt be got. I wonder why is there a shortage?
    I got some from another Vet to get me out. What are the alternatives?

    i was talking to a lad today who had a calf born on 1 january, he applied online to register calf and also ticked the box for the movement permit, also sent off bvd test... got card today but also a letter to say permit cannot be issued until bvd results are through... just a heads up if you where going to sell calf on, bvd results have to be back before you can get movement cert

    Ross is your best bet out of all you have mentioned, I would say.

    you still test.... you cannot test a calf unless it is registered and you cannot get a permit or sell in mart unless you have test results

    You can send off a sample for a calf before it is registered but they wont give you the result until the calf is registered as far as i know.

    At least he tried to help or was it a deliberate mistake so he wouldn't be asked again.

    Was there @10 and left at 6:30, got a bed 4 hours sleep and breakfast so cant complain.
    Nice grass Whelan1 i'd swear i saw it growing bit wet though it's full of frogs.
