I am currently looking into setting up an AFU. Have read through all the stuff on the animal health website and it wouldn't take much to make our shed suitable for their requirements.
About half the cattle going in there would be our own which are currently clear but the others could be bought from anywhere.
Benefits would be not having to test finishing cattle which is a waste of time if they are in the last couple of months of slaughter and also being able to buy some slightly cheaper finishing cattle.
Does anyone else run one or have experience of running one?
