OCDS reopens for last chance limited bookings
The OCDS booking system which closed on September 30 has reopened. The Rural Payments Agency has analysed the bookings and the slaughter capacity and there is a still a limited number of slaughter slots available. If you wish to take advantage of this last chance opportunity to use the OCDS you may do so by booking now.
At the time of booking a slaughter slot you must provide the animal’s ear tag number and your CPH number. Bookings cannot be made without this information. Abattoir slaughter capacity can be seen here. If you have any queries you can contact the OCDS helpline on 0118 9687333. The OCDS will close on December 31 2008.
