Exactly, we freeze brand our cows the last four digits of their tag number. If the cow is not leaving the holding what difference does it make if she has lost one tag, as long as it as 2 tags when she leaves the farm. I think these officials think we are as inept as they are and can't be trusted.

I suspect that a) he has bigger things to worry about than TFF and b) and needs some headspace.

Most of us can be trusted and records etc ok. However our vet told us he once did a tb test where a number of cows were missing one/two tags but they were all freeze branded. To help the farmer out they agreed to do the test off the freeze brand records where cows had no tags. Cows would then have replacement tags fitted on second reading. Should have been fine you'd think and a common sense approach. Was all ok until ministry came back to query the animals tested as according to the numbers submitted some were dead and others no longer on that holding

we know a min vet, had to go and do a late TB test, rather a lot had no tags, sat down with the farmer, went through all the records, sorted the 'mess' out, told him to ring BCMS, quoting this reference, and p/ports will be sorted before l come to read the test.Most of us can be trusted and records etc ok.

in a day to day basis 'some 'people don't have a flurry of others or even anyone at all around them doing paperwork making phones calls dealing with others they don't have the motivation to do the phone calls etc and maybe find that sort of thing very difficult or intimidating / anxiety causing
Doing practical jobs is one thing dealing with the rest of it is another both from a time consumption point of view and personality type..one .
and Some people ask for help on a daily basis but don't get it. appropriate help that is .
In order to properly help , Like dealing with livestock patience and understanding of a situation and the person , is needed. .
Otherwise nothing changes.

Glad to hear partner is on the mend .
The bit about this I don’t understand is if red tractor is doing a spot inspection which could happen anytime, why is jdunn sending an email to them saying I’m not going to be around for a few weeks,when surely the best thing is just let them turn up whenever and bump into whoever is helping out ,and they then explain the situation .to send an email saying don’t bother coming cause I’m not there would to me sound very suspicious

because, if they turn up twice, and fail to find someone, its a fail, automatically.
