Latest word on movements

THE six-day animal movements regime is to be made permanent.

In making the announcement, DEFRA stated that there will be an exemption for the peak sale season, from August 1 to November 30. This will allow breeding rams, bulls and goats to leave farms that are under a six-day standstill for a market, provided they have been placed in a DEFRA-approved isolation facility for six days beforehand.

Farmers will also be able to move certain animals without standstill as long as

they comply with the isolation requirements. Animals will no longer be allowed to stay on market premises for more than 48 hours.
