All cattle (except bobby calves moving direct to slaughter) and deer which are being moved must have a signed and completed Tb Declaration.  This should be provided on an industry standard Animal Status Declaration (ASD) form. If you are buying or grazing cattle or deer, it is important you check the declaration first. To confirm the accuracy of a Tb Declaration, or to order free books of ASD forms, call 0800 4 TB INFO (0800 4 824 636).

If you are moving cattle or deer you must keep a copy of the completed ASDs for those animals for one year from the date of movement. If you receive cattle or deer, you must keep the completed ASDs for those animals for the time you keep the animals, plus an additional year. Slaughter processors must keep completed ASDs for four years.
