Yeah it would take a bit of planning, maybe partner with a finisher within 10 miles and link holdings?
Or grow for the summer and send to an AFU?
The way tb is handled in the UK is a total bloody disgrace, but I wouldn't let it stop me farming cattle if I got the opportunity.
we had a government sponsored programme across the whole country about 40 years ago to eradicate tb & brucellosis, including the wild / feral cattle populations in our north. As a teenager at school I remember our cattle at home being tested. A few years later, catching wild bulls in the Gulf of Carpentaria, it was still about TB / Brucellosis eradication.
It was done because the cattle industry was recognised as being of vital importance to our terms of trade & international income. It was done to benefit the national economy, not just as a “hand out” to farmers.
If a country as vast, diverse & remote as ours can do it, why can’t the UK ?
