Prime Stock
Tuesday Primestock Sales at Wigton Auction Mart
We would appreciate it if you could advise us of entries of stock by 4.00pm on the Monday before the sale so that the buyers can be advised accordingly.
All sheep must be accompanied by AML1 licence form.
A movement form for the sale can be downloaded here.
Prime Sheep Tagging
We are pleased to sell your sheep with either electronic or non-electronic tags. Movements of sheep must be recorded and so electronic tags make this process much simpler with a record for both the vendor and the purchaser.
All different flock numbers must be recorded on your AML1 Movement Licence together with numbers of each. However if electronic tags are used we can do this for you.
Remember - Yellow Tags = Electronic = Less work for everyone
FCI Paperwork Requirement
Legislation came into force on 1st January 2010 requiring slaughterhouse operators to 'Request, Receive, Check and Act Upon' Food Chain Information (FCI) for all cattle, sheep and goats sent to slaughter for human consumption.
This requirement forms part of the whole farm to fork approach for food safety. FCI is used by the Meat Hygiene Service to aid decisions about meat and may be used to determine inspection procedures. FCI also contributes slaughter house operators HACCP based food safety management systems by providing information about animals procured for slaughter.
The requirement needs declarations from producers to guarantee animal health provisions and will require a form detailing animal identity. We are incorporating the wording of the documents onto our current movement form which are now required for all store, primestock and OTM cattle.
It is essential that an entry form is completed and signed for each category of stock and consignment as we have further paperwork to complete which is reliant upon signed declarations from producers.
For further information please contact the office or David on 07721 616786.
We are now an ABM approved mart
Cattle and sheep sold at this Mart will retain their Farm Assurance Status
