Defra has put the new rules on sheep EID and movement recording into focus with a new DVD.
Copies will shortly be distributed to NFU regional offices. The film can also be viewed over the internet
here. Topics covered include identification, replacements and upgrading, moving your sheep, dealing with the historic flock and getting started.
Our livestock team has also put together two briefing documents to help members understand the rules. For a summary of the requirements and to view Q&A, click on documents at the right of the page.
EID regulation came into effect at the start of the month. NFU lobbying helped make the controversial proposals more practical on the ground.
