2. Testing Prior to Movement From or Within Controlled Areas
2.1 No cattle beast or deer aged 90 days or more may be moved:

(b) within any Controlled Area from its herd of origin, or 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
unless it has undergone, within 60 days prior to the date of movement, a negative test for bovine tuberculosis in accordance with the Order.
