Identification
All sheep must be identified individually with appropriate ear tags issued in accordance with the requirements
of the National Sheep Identification System (NSIS).
Movement Documentation
All consignments of sheep being moved must be accompanied by a completed dispatch document. Individual
details of each sheep in the consignment must be recorded on the document. Sheep from non-restricted

must be accompanied by the relevant movement permit (SCR/10), which can be obtained from the local
District Veterinary Office in the county where the flock is located.

done using a copy of the owners sheep dispatch document as follows:

checks it to ensure that it is completed in full.
2. The Show Secretary fills in the MART section of the dispatch document with (i) the show number, (ii)
the date of the move back to the source holding (iii) stamps it with the Show stamp and (iv) signs the
dispatch document.

DVO office within 7 days of the show movement.
4. The Show Secretary keeps the white copy for his/her records.
