Bluetongue Licence Update for Prime Stock Vendors
Attention vendors located within a bluetongue zone: an important update has been issued regarding the licensing requirements for selling prime livestock.
All vendors within a Bluetongue zone must now use the EXD630 general licence instead of the original EXD627.
This updated licence is mandatory and must be printed and brought with you to the market.
For your convenience, a link to the new EXD630 licence is provided below. Thank you for your cooperation.
Grassroots update
Dear BBGS Member,
On the 15th of October 2024 we received an exciting new upgrade to the Grassroots system. The screen that members use will remain the same but the software that I use as Administrator is now super speedy, far simpler, and even more secure. The new admin process in the BBGS office creates pdf certificates ready to print at home by yourselves attached to an email ready to be sent without having the printing and postage costs previously incurred.
The Trustees were faced with a choice of having to increase fees for new certificates following registrations and transfers or go paperless and help meet our environmental responsibilities in line with a majority of other breed societies.
You can help keep the Herd Book integrity and accuracy by logging in and updating your births, deaths, and marriages asap please.
Many Thanks
Ian
Registrations secretary
