Herdwatch allows farmers to apply for movement certs in seconds through the app. When you sell animals privately you can apply for the movement certs on the spot and have the movement completed before the animal even leaves the yard!
REMINDER:
Due to new cattle movement regulations implemented from the 4th Feburary 2019.
- You cannot apply for movement certs for animals less than 10 days old.
- The movement cert is now only valid for 10 days, this has been reduced from 30 days.
