The 70 day residency rule which is part of Bord Bia's quality assurance scheme states that the animal must have spent the last 70 days (unbroken) in the Quality Assured Chain.

It does not preclude movements to marts. Bord Bia place no restrictions on the number of movements a bovine has had, for it to be deemed Quality Assured.
