You’re a lucky man only needs a ton.

It's not what I need It's what I can afford🤣. Grass really motoring now, auld boy was getting all excited today about getting silage cut as soon as it dries up, had to remind him that it's the 10th of May and I don’t red the plastic off the silo floor until at least the 20th.

Can someone please explain to me what I’ve done wrong here? I don’t understand this letter. I had under the threshold and once identified ordered them. What more do they expect ?

I would have thought your single tag rate was excellent. If less than three in every hundred is considered a breach, one has to wonder what sort of perfection they are expecting to find on a working farm. Clearly some utterly clueless individual with a very shallow experience of farming wrote that directive.


(The polite version).
I refer to my previous comment, size 11, steel toe-cap.......!

Problem with that is you need a worthy opponent for a good argument, you can't argue with stupid!
Well yes that’s true, either stupid or really just don’t give a … friend had an issue with sheep tags going through an abattoir , phoned department, they said we don’t really follow up much on sheep tags. The whole thing is a real 💩.

I'd have a chat to your local UFU office and see if you can get an explanation from DEARA
