(ii) the place or establishment at which the animal is being kept
to a place other than a place occupied by the owner or person in charge of the cattle beast or deer, must be accompanied throughout the movement by a completed Declaration Card relating to that animal, so that a person inspecting that animal may inspect the Declaration Card at the same time.
2.2 A completed Declaration Card must be signed and dated by the owner of the animal to which it relates or a person acting with the authority of the owner, and must contain the following information for each animal to which the card relates:
(a) The breed, sex and age of the animal;

(iv) "Works monitored", which refers to animals from a herd not subject to on farm testing under the operational plan of the Animal Health Board.
3. Testing Prior to Movement From or Within Risk Areas
3.1 No cattle beast or deer aged 90 days or more may be moved:
