[QUOTE="mo!, post: 6289698, member: 3261"] Vehement is a strong word, I'm only repeating what I've been told and what I've seen of the system. It has frequent outages, it is clunky to use, the traffic light system is extremely poor and contributes to stress as it seemingly changes at random. 6 day may suit a small farmer like yourself but it is a major hindrance for many. It currently serves no purpose other than to hand power to meat buyers. We are in an LFU so it wouldn't affect me as we can only sell to slaughter anyway but many farms are shackled by it. Your clean (lucky you) piece of paper could just as easily be online, you wouldn't need continuation sheets, and when your animal is slaughtered the abattoir wouldn't need to handle vast quantities of paper. I realise in your spotless plastic wrapped farm a passport never gets damaged, or an envelope full of them gets trodden into a fold yard (that happened to our dealer with a cost of £2000) but it happens elsewhere. Everyone moaned when they brought passports in and now folks want to hold on to them??? [/QUOTE]
