A neighbour used to buy from the South but has started buying local now, less milk and less for culls were his reasons.

Who would be selling gb cows local to us? As in a dealer

Also who’s buying a 33 month old heifer 
at our place it’s nearly always the younger heifers do better and the bigger stronger ones have problems, maybe more milk but find them harder to get back in calf

Bluetongue: ban on cattle and sheep moving from Britain to Ireland
Bluetongue does not affect human or food safety, but, if found here, would have a very negative impact on animal welfare and the livestock sector.

There's cows imported nearly every week, plenty bought on mart eye, and at least a couple of dealers that would buy regularly, either for their own herds or to go direct to customers.

Lakeland base this past two months is 27.25ppl. Was told Dale farm and green pastures is around 31/32 ppl base.
This is the toughest year of dairy farm I’ve been involved in a decade when milk was 18/19PPL.
Horrendous weather in March/April, poor grass growth in general, milk prices falling like a stone, wet July/August which brought fluke and then an early winter. Will be glad to see the back of it.
They always say the outlook is positive, for who though?
