In the newsletter, it states that the new KK "tag number will be in the format UK1234-0001".
Q1: Is "UK" a replacement for "GJ" in our DEFRA herd mark or should the "GJ" be included on the tag or is herd mark nothing to do with the new eartag number?
I'm trying to determine where to start the numbering sequence for the new BKKPS tags.
We've previously had fattener pigs (including non-pedigree kunekunes) that were numbered with metal tags using the format "GJ3032-15" and we have a stock of these (GJ3032-16 to GJ3032-24). I would like to keep using these for future movements.
Q2: What is the relationship between the metal tag number and the BKKPS tag number? Do they have to correspond?
I have an old-style green "kunekune 5507" tag for my pedigree sow, Celeste (bred elsewhere). I have not put this tag into her ear yet (

Q3: Can I use one of the new BKKPS tags from Allflex and, if yes, does the new tag number have to match her old number (5597)?
Q4: If new new tag number doesn't have to match, do I notify BKKPS registrar to link her new tag number with her herdbook number (6023)?
Sorry so detailed and thanks in advance for the clarification!
