The form, which is a legal requirement, should include the number of sheep and goats owned by the keeper on 1 December 2025 and the CPH where they were located on this date. This should include common land and any temporary CPH.
NFU Cymru Livestock Board Chairman Rob Lewis said: “With a relatively short time period to get the inventory form completed, I would urge all sheep and goat keepers to prioritise this work.”
How to complete the inventory
Sheep and goat keepers registered with EIDCymru will see the inventory available on their account at eidcymru.org. Keepers who are yet to register will receive an email or a letter asking them to complete their inventory through an online portal. The email or letter will contain a 6-digit code to be used with the primary holding CPH to access the inventory through the EID Cymru portal. The 6-digit code can also be obtained by ringing EID Cymru direct on 01970 636959.
Support is being made available through drop-in sessions at livestock markets between 1-12 December where staff from the Farm Liaison Service and Farming Connect will be able to help keepers complete their inventories. The EID Cymru team will be on hand to help with a stand at the Winter Fair, located in the Glamorgan Hall.
All sheep and goat keepers are asked to complete their Annual Inventory as close to the 1 December date as possible so that they can access the full suite of support available.
