From the last time we had it - the lambs can look unaffected but be brain damaged. I think I read at the time that their brains can be alot smaller than normal. There was some research done in Belgium from memory.
Ok, I get it profit in a capital society should be a priority. But we now live in a country where we are expected to save the world with our farming practices so is it time to think bigger?
Banks have Social Policies now. They choose who they provide bank services to. Should farmers have a...

I have a litter of Huntaway cross Welsh Sheepdog puppies looking for new homes - located in Herefordshire. Both parents are strong workers (cattle and sheep). Work with bark and are happy working in pens, loading trailers etc They are also good guard dogs. Message me for more info.
