Sheep
Sheep are a bigger problem! which is where EID in sheep comes into its own. an EID reader can make this a lot simpler and provide a list of tags to download and produce the movement document. You can also do this from a weighing session, or management group.
Confirmed and Unconfirmed Movements
You can create a movement for tommorrow and confirm it when the animals have actually gone!. So as the passports need to go with the cattle, scan them the day before, then confirm and register the movement when they have actuall left the farm
