Cut cattle paperwork and use the internet

Tired of endless form filling? More cattle producers are lightening the load by completing passport applications and movement recording on-line.

Launched in March, BCMSs CTS on-line system is already used for 15% of cattle passport applications. The service can be accessed through the Management Section of our website Farmers Weekly Interactive. Users say it is quick, easy and reduces errors. Information can also be downloaded onto farm management software.

BCMS is keen to receive producers feedback on how it can improve the system. What a welcome attitude from a government organisation. If only other departments were so customer-focused.
