Herd numbers are allocated by my Department for the purpose of disease control and are given only in respect of herds which are managed as independent units and where there is no intermixing of the stock with animals from other herds.
My information is that the herd in this particular case does not satisfy these conditions, and consequently, the grant of a separate herd number cannot be considered.
