Each exhibitor shall be solely responsible for any loss, injury or damage that may be done to or occasioned by or arising from any machinery or article or any animal or property exhibited by him and it is a conditioned of entry that each exhibitor shall indemnify and hold harmless the show from and against all actions, suits, expenses and claims on account of such damage or injury.

e. Record the movement back on to your holding by placing one of your own labels in next available space.

f. Enter the date of ON movement in the space provided and sign the respective box.

2. Remember to complete your on farm records.

IF YOU REQUIRE MORE MOVEMENT SUMMARY PAGES IN YOUR PASSPORT PLEASE CONTACT BCMS

IF YOU SELL AN ANIMAL AT A SHOW OR YOU TAKE THE ANIMAL TO A HOLDING OTHER THAN THE HOLDING OF ORIGIN

3. Complete the movement summary as above and in addition:

a. The original Keeper should complete a movement card notifying the last movement of the animal OFF the original holding and then post this to BCMS.

b. The new keeper of the animal should also complete a movement card notifying us of the movement of the animal ON to the new holding and place this in the post. or, if the animal has not changed ownership but moved to a new holding: The keeper completes a movement card for the new holding and sends it to BCMS.

c. The movement summary should then be completed with the barcode label for the new holding, date of ON movement and signature.

4. The movement should be noted in your on farm records

IF YOU REQUIRE ANY FURTHER HELP PLEASE CONTACT BCMS ON

0845 050 1234

With regard to reporting the movement of sheep and goats to/from shows please refer in particular to paragraphs numbered B.10, B.11 and B.13 within the 'Guidance for keepers in England Rules for identifying sheep and goats January 2008'. I suggest that many exhibitors will not be aware of the revised guidance where it is their responsibility to supply the white copy AML1 form to their own local authority for both the move to the show, and the move away from the show. The sheep and goat movement documents still require the signature of a representative of the show, but it is no longer the responsibility of the show secretary to report the movement onto the show site to the local authority.

The show secretary should retain the pink copy document for moves onto the show site, and the yellow copy for the moves away from the show.
