Livestock Information Ltd

“I’ve been using LIS since it launched in March 2022. I registered before it went live after reading an update email from NFU. Along with the sheep, we also have approx. 140 breeding cows plus followers and about 400 acres of arable crops. I’ve used the CTS online system for many years to keep track of cattle movements, so look forward to all livestock management within the same LIS system.”

“you haven’t got to worry about sending your paperwork in and doing so within a certain amount of time. You go online, record the movement, and it’s done. There’s no risk of losing records or forgetting about paperwork. I would recommend LIS to anyone.”

“When LIS was first launched, I couldn’t prepare the necessary movement forms ahead of time. The last thing you want to be doing when heading off to the abattoir early in the morning is having to get up an hour earlier to log into the computer and record the movement. But as LIS has developed and evolved, I can now do all my paperwork the night before, pack everything up that I need, and I’m ready to go the following morning. It’s just brilliant!”

“In the short time I have been using LIS, there have been many improvements to the system, and I am sure there will be even more functionality to come. There’s probably features on there I don’t use yet, but how I use the service works for me.”

“I recently had an issue where I was four ewes short on the system due to an error with the market movement. The support team were great and sorted it all out for me within 24 to 48 hours”

“The feature I like most about LIS is being able to check my headcount easily to ensure everything is as it should be. It is just so simple to deal with movements on LIS. I can imagine it would be particularly useful in maintaining your records if you have a large flock where you are reporting movements very frequently.”

“signing up for my LIS account was a very simple process, and once I got the hang of how to move my stock from ARAMS onto LIS, it was very easy to use. I can just login to report the movement and the form is all pre-populated for me – job done!”

“I’ve always been one for using less paper where I can and reducing the need for paper records is the way forward. I have several sheep-farmer friends who use paper forms, and they have piles of paperwork everywhere! I also find the paper forms quite hard to get hold of in my area and as I don’t attend a huge number of markets it’s not easy for me to pick up forms. So, I have always reported my sheep moves digitally, it’s just so easy. When LIS was launched, I signed up for the service as soon as it was possible to do so and moved all my flock information over from ARAMS.”
