Cattle Registrations - Births, Movements and Deaths

DATED: - 29 September 2021

In the United Kingdon all cattle births, movements and death are required to be notified to the devolved government body. This was done up until 2021 through the single BCMS / CTS interface, which run for over 25 Years. With the introduction (propsed ) of IED for cattle BCMS is being replaced by devolved systems, Scot EID in Scotland, EID Cymru in Wales and the Livestock Information Program in England.

The body to which you report will therefore depend on your farm location. For farms that stradle the border or have holding number on both sides, it is currently unclear what the exact rules are ( or are going to be) .
