[QUOTE="cows sh#t me to tears, post: 7581023, member: 44958"] Ok. First point. Only backlined for flies during summer (warmer months). Flies are not a problem at the moment as it's to cold for them. Now on to feedlots. EVERY local shire has rules around the size of a feedlot before it can go ahead / expand exponentially. If its not approved it doesn't happen. Simple. These rules cover welfare standards, environmental standards, noise and odours impacts on neighbors , traffic movements, road conditions etc etc. I can not go out and start a 6000 head feedlot in my back paddock just because I feel like it. Edit: that's local government rules to. Apply for any major expansion of an existing one and then its state based rules re environmental impact. And at any point if someone objected if it was to impact any sensitive area it can all be over ridden by the federal minister... To the article. How the hell is a feedlot ANY FRIGGEÑ different to housing cattle or stupid bloody sheep for 9 months of the year?? Seriously?? What's the difference??? Do you open the shed door so they can see a blade of green grass??? That's just whipping up hysteria for the sake of it. Same as saying "cheap meat" ....... Try buying cattle here atm "cheaply". And finish them in a feedlot on a grain ration at over $300/ tonne. Chicken little stuff. Nothing more. [/QUOTE]
