Dear Mr Smith,
I've never had nor moved a cow in my life and don't intend to start now! Indeed my one and only contribution to this seemingly endless thread is repeated below for those who missed it. As you see I profess to have little knowledge of the cattle passport system (but I'm being educated via this link). I still believe we need people like Mr Purdey who will challenge the excesses of officialdom – the standing of his credibility will as they say, come out in the wash. However, we also need people like yourself who are not afraid to put forward a different view – so in the interests of balance and fairness I will also say: "Good luck to you sir!
 "I can't pretend to understand all the intricacies of cattle passports but one of the reasons (not the main one) we came out of breeding pedigree sheep was the increasing amount of blethering nonesense coming out of Brussels and Defra. Life's too short – there are so many other things to do, but for my money we need people like Mr Purdey who will not just turn belly up and who are not afraid to take on the Goliaths. Good luck to you sir!" Colin Ardron

Colin Ardron please let me know how many cattle movements they have registered with BCMS since 1/1/04.

I presume you must have failed to read my earlier posting on this subject as in the past few days your replies to my

comments have been virtually instant.

Since 01/01/04 I have recorded movements for 749 individual animals every single one of these movements has been correctly recorded and there are no errors within them.
I look forward to your replies
Gee
