Overview
This consultation is about a proposal to remove the requirement for keepers of bovine animals (cattle, bison and buffalo) in England to record the identification number of the dam (mother) in their holding register when they buy in or bring cattle on to their holding.
Breeders will still have to record in their holding register the identification of the dam for calves born on their holding.
The proposal is part of the Government’s Red Tape Challenge to reduce the regulatory burden to the farming industry.
