Entering Records

Recording sales

When you sell cattle, you don’t have to type in any ear tag numbers. Just click on the “Sell Cattle” link on the menu bar and enter the Movement Date (the date that you’re selling them on) and choose the market where you’re selling them from your personal list. To add another location to your list, click the “Add” link.
Then select the cattle you’re selling from the list on the page by ticking the boxes. Any restrictions on the animals like medical withdrawal periods or subsidy retention periods will be shown on the list.
Then click on “Confirm and Record”.
Check the details of the cattle in the list and click on the “Go Back” link at the side of the page to make any changes.
You can send the Movement Details to the BCMS electronically once you have returned a signed copy of the Terms of Service to CattleController (click here for a copy) by clicking on “Record and Send”. If you would rather send the movement card in yourself, click on “Record without Sending”.
The sale will be recorded and you’ll be transferred to the main Summary page where you can see your updated stock summary and stocking density. Your Herd Register and Movement Book will be automatically updated.
If you chose to send the movement details to the BCMS electronically, we will forward their confirmation of receipt notice within 3 days.
