HG 10: Disposal of livestock

You could also call this:

"Selling farm animals when you leave a farming partnership"

When you dispose of some or all of your livestock to someone else, and you are an exiting partner, this section might apply to you. You must be disposing of livestock that includes female breeding livestock, and you and your partners must be using either the national standard cost scheme, described in section EC 22, or the cost price method, described in section EC 25.

If this section applies to you, then section EC 26B might also apply to the person you are selling the livestock to, to help them work out the value of the livestock.

This section does not apply if section HG 3(1) applies to you and your partners.
