Software for fallen-stock collectors.
For collectors anywhere in the UK: requests from your own website, every job's run step by step, the movement document completed at the gate, driver checks, and statements with the payments recorded against them. It is first in use on the Isle of Wight - farmers there book collections on this page.

Price list
Per collection, one animal, VAT included. Each figure is the starting (“from”) rate for that species; where a heavier weight band changes the rate it is quoted before the job — this page does not publish a separate figure for each band. Multiple animals on one visit are charged per animal or per kilogram — whichever is lower for you.
| Species | Standard | Next day | Urgent same day | Weight bands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sheep | £45.00 | £54.00 | £69.75 | Small ≤25kg · Medium ≤50kg · Large ≤80kg |
| Goat | £55.00 | £66.00 | £85.25 | Small ≤25kg |
| Pig | £65.00 | £78.00 | £100.75 | Small ≤40kg · Large ≤120kg |
| Deer | £75.00 | £90.00 | £116.25 | Medium ≤80kg |
| Cattle | £95.00 | £114.00 | £147.25 | Calf ≤200kg · Store ≤450kg · Adult ≤900kg |
| Horse | £160.00 | £192.00 | £248.00 | Pony ≤350kg · Horse ≤900kg |
Cattle also priced at £31.67 per animal or £0.55 per kilogram on standard service. Difficult access, out-of-hours and long-distance surcharges are quoted before the job is accepted, never added afterwards.
What happens when you ask for a collection
You send the request
Holding name, species, rough weight, and where on the holding the animal is. A what3words for the gate saves time on the day.
You get a price and a slot
The rate comes off the published list. If access or distance changes it, you are told before anything is booked.
We collect
Driver runs the pre-start vehicle and PPE checks before leaving. Loading, then clean-down and disinfection on site.
Paperwork and payment
Commercial document issued at the gate with the consignment reference. Pay on collection or on account.
What gets recorded
Fallen stock is an animal by-product. Every movement is documented, and the records below are kept for every single job — which means when you are inspected, your side of it is already written down.
Commercial document
Consignment number, category, material description, quantity, producer and destination — issued per movement.
Vehicle cleaning log
Date, vehicle, clean type, disinfectant and dilution, areas cleaned, operator — after every collection.
Biosecurity log
Risk level, what triggered it, additional disinfection, whether a deep clean or a notification was required.
Driver checks
Pre-start vehicle and PPE checks, post-job clean-down and end-of-shift checks, each signed off against the job.
Burying on the farm is not allowed on the Isle of Wight. Fallen stock must not be burned or buried on the farm (GOV.UK, Fallen stock). The Island was made a remote area from 2 May 2009, which allowed burial or burning on site (SI 2009/1119); that designation was revoked, and the rules changed with it from 30 November 2011 (SI 2011/2681). England's remote areas today are the Isles of Scilly, Lundy and Coquet Island.
