wrong again if you keep cattle you see the vet and the ministry regularly
If you believe that you will believe anything.

I got around on a smashed ankle for 8 1/2 weeks on the premise it was "just a bad sprain"Plenty of dogs running around on three legs, just saying.
like you thenIf you believe that you will believe anything.
and a licence would change what exactlyYes if you are in a TB1 but not necessarily in a tb4. Plenty would only get an annual visit and even that may just be for a calving in the dark.

Fabbl inspect the facilities and some animals. Trading standards do look at a few animals. Basically many especially tenant grazing livestock farmers cant afford farm workers anymore much less the income expectations of farm vets. The plan after brexit is more subsidised tree planting on marginal land so there wont be much grazing livestock left anywayI’m not the one saying about the licence. Merely pointing out the majority of a farmers livestock or facilities may not be fully seen as often as you claim.
Even then on a full herd annual TB test seen plenty of horror shows.
There are plenty of farms in Scotland that don’t even have a tb test due to exemptions if selling fat.
As i understand it they do ar is it a very long process to the finish from the start of the prosecuting.
Animals and general farm with livestock would be often enough visited by inspections, tb testing and various other vetinary call out through out a year so in general all should be acceptable to standard i would have thought most would be caught if failing on a duty of care to animals point of view.

Where are you?how does that work?I can go many months, sometimes over a year without seeing a vet, and have only once had a visit from the ministry inspection in the last decade - to check lamb tags, and they didn’t go near my cattle.
No TB testing whatsoever as enough cattle finished and checked at abattoir for me to get a full exemption.
No other checks.
Vet rarely needed, and usually would take any ill sheep to the surgery.

Wish the welsh government useless tw@s would think a bit like thatBovine TB testing intervals
Guidance for cattle keepers on the bovine TB surveillance testing intervals for areas in England, Wales and Scotland.www.gov.uk
Scotland
Scotland has been designated officially TB free (OTF) since September 2009. As a result, changes were introduced to exempt low risk herds from the default routine testing regime of 48 months that applies to all other non-exempt herds.
Low risk herds must fully comply with one of the following:
Slaughtered animals are animals that have been on the holding for at least 60 days and that move either direct from the farm to slaughterhouse, or directly from the farm to market and then directly to the slaughterhouse.
- herds with fewer than 50 cattle which have had fewer than 2 consignments of cattle moved on from high incidence TB areas (including Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland) in the previous 4 years
- herds that slaughter more than 25% of their stock annually and have had fewer than 2 consignments of cattle moved on from high incidence TB areas (including Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland) in the previous 4 years
- herds that slaughter more than 40% of their stock annually
It does not include animals moving onto another holding temporarily between market and slaughterhouse.
The slaughter rate is calculated on the total number of cattle slaughtered in a slaughterhouse in the previous calendar year divided by the herd size (total stock on farm on 1 January).
APHA annually assesses each individual herd’s eligibility for exemption from TB testing, and will write to all cattle keepers in Scotland to confirm whether or not their herd is exempt.
