[QUOTE="regolith, post: 625691, member: 9267"] A stock agent buys and sells animals for folks - they take a commission on the sale. I'm going to be mean and google up a link to show (it's not as if I've said anything here I haven't said to the guy's face apart from the exasperation word that got be-niced-out above): [url=http://www.rd1.com/web/content?in_section=17&in_item=1738]http://www.rd1.com/web/content?in_secti ... _item=1738[/url] They can work independently, or for other companies - meat buyers, trading stores. The Animal Status Declaration (ASD) form has to be filled out to accompany an animal every time it moves - to another farm, to the meat works, wherever. It's mostly for TB (tuberculosis) control - you have to state on the form whether this animal has been tested, whether your herd has been tested, if there were any TB reactors. So when the bull arrived, I was given the ASD as he was unloaded with his former owner's name, phone number and approximate location. I think it's in the folder at my feet... I think of a livestock inspector as being like a Ministry of Agriculture vet? The guys who come round to test your cattle for TB, or investigate animal welfare issues. Definitely not the same as a stock agent. [/QUOTE]
