NEW TB PRE-MOVEMENT TESTING RULES  

ALL STORE CATTLE WHICH ARE OVER 42 DAYS (6 WEEKS) OLD MUST BE PRE-MOVEMENT TESTED FOR TB

Truro Livestock Market operates a separate exempt section which will be able to accept tested as well as untested finished cattle and slaughter cows.  

Calves which are up to and including 42 days old on the day of sale are also exempt from the regulations as are cattle from 3 and 4 year test holdings.

 Store cattle which are under 42 days old on the day of sale are also exempt from the regulations as are cattle from 3 and 4 year test holdings.

 Store cattle which are over 42 days old and are from 1 and 2 year test holdings must have been tested within 60 days of the sale date.

 Producers are required to use new entry forms available from the Auctioneers and to declare in writing to the Auctioneers the date of testing.

 Cattle will not be accepted unless they are presented to the market with an Entry Form showing a current TB test date.
