Anyone answer this please, going to call the officials later. if you have received a tracer test on cattle that are close to slaughter do you have to test them before said slaughter say you have 6 weeks to do the test?

You would need to test them by the end date of the testing window. If they are fit to slaughter before that date, send them soon as

Some wage for truck driving ! Tis tempting , nicer that tractors as well .
Mate just got a job with council, driving road sweeper wagon. £23500 a year , 33 days hols, if he starts at 6 am he finishes at 1 pm. Or 7 am until 2pm. If he’s asked to do a saturday morning he gets all friday off. Sounds a cushy job but salary not 40k.

Councils are not notoriously good payers. But they don’t expect you to work hard either
