Doesn't matter if you haven't wormed the dog as long as you write it down that you did.Heard a good one today, which really sums up Dead Tractor's pedantic pettiness.
Family beef farm, had an inspection, and was picked up as the dog wormer hadn't been written up in the meds book. The dog had been wormed - just not recorded.
Fast forward a week or so, and after a clear TB test, farmer takes a load of store cattle to market, with a sticker on his entry form. Market staff then inform him that his membership has been withdrawn, because he hadn't wormed the farm dog.
The 'discussion' is ongoing, I believe.
It used to be 'have you wormed the cat?>' but now apparently it's the dawg. This despite the farms around here being laced with footpaths, travesed by all shapes and sizes of dogs, many of which may not have been treated.
Nowt changes. Agree but to not give this farm chance to rectify a paper record error, and cancel his membership, is OTT , imho.
I never put the dogs worm date in the med books just have them in the calendar and that always has been good enough for themworm the dog, for their health and your cattle’s. But remember, it’s a hanging offence if the act is not recorded.
many years ago, I remember writing, had Leachman’s million head of cattle all had ear tags inserted and each one a FSH - and had he wormed his cat?

I shall be checking our Meds book…. For dog and cat. Wot else have I missed for this year?
Nothing wrong with tipping outside for a couple days if its going to go into an incredibly high standard grain store and be processed on intake.
I didn't mean it's not important, I meant as a means of passing the inspectionIt certainly does matter that you worm your dogs regularly, for their health and others health
and how can everything that we do be remembered off the top of yer head ? that s nothing to do with fa. just good practice and common sense.
No, its all the extra froth, unuseful things that has grown on there schemes over the years that destroys peoples motivation, interest and mental well being. All to keep some twits who donothing practical in a nice comfy lifestyle,wasteing the Worlds scant resources.
As it happens youve just reminded me that ours need doing againworm the dog, for their health and your cattle’s. But remember, it’s a hanging offence if the act is not recorded.

I do not have the time of day for RT @matthew but the above story is a complete load of BS!Heard a good one today, which really sums up Dead Tractor's pedantic pettiness.

More to it than she has told you!
I wish that were true
You know the answer!I wish that were true
More likely that this time next year they will be consulting on ratcheting up their standards further.
You are about to cost a haulier a days work, your merchant a 3 hour headache. It’s coming back to the farm with a big bill…and if it doesn’t your merchant might have been lucky enough to have a non assured slot to tip it off. I’ll bet you £100 it doesn’t end up in a flour mill and you say who the merchant is….in fact make it £500!
