To amend a cattle passport, you don't need a reference number from BCMS. Simply cross out the incorrect details, note the correct details and return the passport to #BCMS . It will then be amended and returned to you. Please allow up to two weeks for the passport to be returned.

Blackberrying and farm walk. Not only adding to the curriculum but most important just having fun and enjoying where they live. It is fantastic that @Ruralpay are funding extra visits through FIPL. I love having schools on the farm they are a joy.
