Perhaps our best argument for reform of our bTB approach might be the environmental impact it creates?You are so right. This TB situation that we are in is probably one of the single biggest factors holding back the industry, both arable and livestock.
As a dairy producer, we generate roughly 250 beef sired calves/year. I would love to team up with an arable farmer who wants a serious mob of grazing cattle to compliment their system, but every time it's the risk of a rogue TB test that holds the deal back. If nothing else, it's the regulations on restricting grazing that limits options.
Everyone is losing out.
If we can prove that it is damaging the landscape ecology that might carry more political clout these days.
