Grazing Regulations for the proper management of Greenham and Crookham Commons and to ensure proper standards of welfare and husbandry.

1. All graziers wishing to graze animals should declare their intentions with regard to numbers, breed, gender, and reasons for grazing to the Commission, by the 31st January in each year, prior to turning animals out onto the Common. The Council may, after consultation with the Commission, fix the maximum number of animals of each species to be grazed on the Common.
2. All animals on the Common must bear a mark or tag, or be marked in any other way, so that the ownership of those animals can be easily identified.
3. The use of avermectin group veterinary treatments is prohibited, due to their residual effects on invertebrate life on the Common.
4. The following are not permitted to graze on the Common at any time;
• Shod equines.
• Any animal which has become unthrifty, or is in such a condition that to remain on the Common would be likely to cause the animal unnecessary suffering.
• Any animal, or animals of a particular description where the Commission is satisfied that exclusion is necessary.
5. Stallions, rams, bulls or other entire male animals over six months old must not be grazed on the Common without the prior written permission of the Commission.
6. Graziers are responsible for ensuring the good husbandry and maintenance of health of all animals to be grazed on the Common. Graziers are responsible for day to day welfare inspections, or for arranging these inspections and are responsible for all associated costs for their livestock and for removing any dead animal, or animal which has become ill or unthrifty. Graziers will ensure that any dead animal is, whenever reasonably practicable, removed from the Common as soon as possible after its death has occurred.
7. There shall be no supplementary feeding on the Common except in exceptional circumstances and only on those areas of the Common designated for supplementary feeding under those circumstances. These areas will be agreed in advance with the Commission.
8. The Commission, in consultation with the Council, and with prior notice of not less than thirty-one days, may ask for livestock to be removed for an agreed period* to allow for the proper maintenance of the Common, or for the promotion of proper standards of livestock husbandry.
   
   *This period will not normally exceed thirty-one days in any calendar year.
9. If a grazier breaches any regulation, any animal may, after consultation with the grazier, and reasonable notice, be removed from the Common by an agent of the Council and the costs recovered from the grazier.
