PASPORTAU GWARTHEG • CATTLE PASSPORTS Gwartheg Passports (CPP 1 or CPP 13 2/98) are required for all bovines born on or after 1st July 1996. The Cattle passport must accompany the animals and remain on the Showground for the duration of the animals’ attendance. The movement to and from the Show should be entered on the passport. The passport should be completed in the usual way for any other movements of the animals. A continuation passport should be applied for in good time before or during the Show season. Page 47 BRUCELLOSIS – GWARTHEG YN LLOIA – ERTHYLU AR FAES Y SIOE BRUCELLOSIS – CATTLE CALVING – ABORTING ON THE SHOWGROUND An animal calving at full term should be placed immediately in the approved isolation accommodation or returned immediately to its premises of origin after receiving permission from the Society. If the owner wishes to return it to the cattle lines he may, at the discretion of the Honorary Festival Director or his nominee, arrange for a blood sample and vaginal swab to be taken privately and examined at an approved laboratory. If both the Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) and microscopical examination of a smear made from the swab are negative, the animal may then leave isolation. Welsh Government will not be responsible for any fee or other charges incurred in this respect. Animals calving prematurely or aborting must immediately be placed in the approved isolation accommodation and the AHVLA at the Showground will be informed by the Office. If an animal calves or aborts before it can be isolated, full precautions must be taken to isolate and disinfect any possibly contaminated standings, bedding, utensils and vehicles. The AHVLA will serve a BS 27 Isolation Notice on the owner or person in charge and arrange an investigation (either by an OV) ensuring that the full range of samples is obtained. The animal under investigation will remain in isolation whilst on the Showground. Once fit to travel, it can return home or remain in isolation until the end of the Show. If the animal is moved before the BS 27 Notice is lifted, a Movement Licence will be required, obtained from the AHVLA. The AHVLA for the Show will notify the AHVLA of the Division of the registered premises of the circumstances of the abortion so that a further BS 27 can be served isolating the animal pending the results of further laboratory investigations. All other bovine animals from the same registered premises will not be allowed to compete further in the Show until negative results for an RBPT and microscopical examination of the smear from the aborting animal have been received. The degree of direct and indirect contact between the animal(s) under investigation and all other cattle on the Showground will be assessed and appropriate measures taken.

  • Study Looking at the Breed of Dam of Calves Recorded with BCMS Web
    EBLEX Report: Analysis of “Breed of Dam” for cattle recorded with BCMS 2003-2013 Samuel Boon, EBLEX, May 2014 (Version 1) Introduction The breed makeup of the nation’s suckler cows influences not just the beef produced and sold to consumers, but also the productivity and ultimately profitability of those farming systems in which cattle are born and reared. EBLEX asked the British Cattle Movement Service (BCMS) for a breakdown of the dams of calves recorded on the database on the basis of their breed. BCMS is part of the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) It is recognised that an analysis of this type of farmer derived data has some limitations. Where crossbreeding arises there is a tendency for the most valuable breed to be reported on the passport. This approach would favour the reporting of certain beef breeds – which may only account for 50% of the genetic makeup of the suckler cow. In the reporting of dairy breeds similar bias may arise. However, this is a large dataset and for the most part recording protocols have remained consistent over time so relative change over the last decade is still relevant to those interested in assessing which breeds and crosses are influencing the UK beef supply. Methodology BCMS data relates to passport applications received for live and dead animals born in Great Britain. Imported cattle are excluded from the data. Cows producing twins or calving twice within the year will be counted more than once. BCMS report 239 different breed codes. It is understood that these codes/breed types are determined by Breed Societies.

  • BAKEWELL MARKET Monday 13Th May
    BAKEWELL MARKET Monday 13th May Another full house at Bakewell with 980 Cattle and 1,802 Sheep on offer. A massive entry of 669 Store and Breeding Cattle resulted in the entry list being halted to ensure that we did not exceed the Market’s capacity. The opportunity to bid at such a large volume of Cattle attracted buyers from far and wide and generated an exceedingly strong trade. Steers sold to £1,320, Heifers £1,275 and Feeding Bulls £1,070. In the Breeding section there were plenty of bidders for all the varied selection on offer with Cows & Calves to £1,280 and very brisk competition for two Blonde Stock Bulls making £2,250 and £2,200. After last week’s lecture on handling Spring Lambs carefully, we have another topic to raise, we have had too many Store Heifers turning up in-calf in bunches of Feeding Cattle. It is clear that Heifers can become pregnant at unfeasibly young ages. So please keep Bulls and Heifers separate to prevent such problems and do not forget given even half a chance “Boys will be Boys” A good show of 133 Finished Cattle sold on a solid trade with the best on offer to 230p and £1,551. In the OTM and Feeding Cow Section a better turnout of 130 head with trade particularly strong. Top figures 179p and £1,396 with the overall average looking good at 125.1p. Calf numbers steady at 48, but decent prices with Bulls to £420 and Heifers £340. In the Sheep department Spring Lambs numbers are starting to build with 342 this week.
