Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine 2013 specific requirements – Sheep Identification

All sheep must be identified individually with appropriate ear tags issued in accordance with the requirements of the National Sheep Identification System (NSIS).

AIM Notification

The movement of sheep to and from an Agricultural Show within the State must be recorded on AIM. This is done using a copy of the owner’s sheep dispatch document as follows:

The owner/keeper presents the signed and completed dispatch document to the show secretary who checks it to ensure that it is completed in full.
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.
The show secretary then forwards the completed pink section of the dispatch document to the local DVO within 7 days of the show movement.
The show secretary keeps white copy for his/her records.
The source/destination keeper keeps the bottom yellow copy to enter it into their flock register.

Flock Register

All movements of sheep to and from shows must be recorded in the keeper’s flock register.
