Fall is a busy season for cattle movement. Calves are being weaned and sold, feeder cattle are moving to new operations, and breeding animals may be traveling across state lines.
For veterinary practices, that can mean an increase in requests for Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (CVIs) and other documentation. A little preparation can help your team manage the rush and keep cattle moving on schedule.
Review Requirements Before Shipping Day
Cattle movement requirements can vary based on origin, destination, age, sex, purpose of movement, and other factors.
Encourage clients to contact your practice as soon as they know where and when their cattle will be moving. This gives your team time to determine CVI, official identification, testing, permit, and other applicable requirements before shipping day.
Gather Movement Information Early
Waiting until cattle are ready to load to collect information can create unnecessary delays.
Gather important details ahead of time, including:
Origin and destination
Consignor and consignee information
Animal counts and descriptions
Official identification
Purpose and date of movement
Relevant testing information
Having these details ready can make certificate creation much smoother during busy days.
Prepare for High-Volume Movements
Large groups of cattle can make official ID entry one of the most time-consuming parts of creating a CVI. Before fall movement picks up, review how your team collects, records, and enters identification.
It can also help ensure that frequently used client, premises, animal, and destination information is saved and up to date. For repeat movements, having information ready to reuse can reduce repetitive data entry.
Make Digital CVIs Part of Your Fall Workflow
Digital tools can help veterinary teams reduce paperwork and keep up when certificate volume increases.
With GlobalVetLink, teams can create digital CVIs using saved animal and contact information, while GVL SmartEngine® provides relevant movement requirements within the workflow. This can help reduce manual research and make it easier to prepare documentation for cattle moving to different destinations.
Get Ready for the Fall Rush
Preparing before your busiest cattle movement days can make a big difference. Review requirements early, collect movement details before appointments, organize frequently used information, and establish a consistent process for completing CVIs.
With the right workflow in place, your practice can spend less time managing paperwork and more time keeping clients and cattle moving this fall.
