Fallen stock invoice

[orbost]

Had invoice from nfsco £4.55 today telling me none of my cattle have died . What a great money maker times a few thousand farmers .
If cattle die you pay for disposal I understand that but paying for nothing is ??

I believe the annual return from them is a big help if you get an inspection for cross compliance, also it’s handy to cross reference your records to make sure all have been recorded. With just cattle it’s probably not much help but with Sheep it’s handy.

Reply to them with payment and a counter invoice for your time in making sure they were right.

There’s obviously been a cock Up...they won’t even take a chicken for £4.55

Agree another money making quango like assurance schemes, we are getting shafted all ways but our fault as a collective we allow it.

You don't have to join the nfsco scheme though. If you don't lose much stock you can just pay your knackerman direct. Tbh I find it far less hassle through nfsco than before.

We’re not in the scheme, cattle only nowadays. Had an old girl (2009) carc it the other day..............£165 + vat!! What do they do? Gold plate them before burning or something?

You do in a way because it makes life easier with assurance and inspections the whole job is a joke.

Can you not get fallen stock tickets from the local hunt? Combine with herd/flock management software and you're sorted.

I don’t think the hunt can take OTM

Why not? They have a big skip all the waste goes in.

Don’t test for BSE

Hunt never could take otm, they are a useless bunch of tosspots and have ran down the knackery until last month they packed it in altogether.

 

[Traffic dodger]

I have no idea of the law but could you not build a large bbq sheep size and burn it on site ?

 

[milkloss]

Anything over 48 month needs brain testing so has to go official knackerman.

you can opt out of the annual return, didn't see the point you get a monthly invoice.

never used to check up much on the invoices but have started to check every month, a few new born calves charged at 2-3mths soon adds up! chancers

Someone told me the hunt here feed dried food as its less hassle and will still collect from farms if they think it will keep them getting hunting permissions but just skip what they collect.

Surely that’s just down to the box the collector ticks when he picks them up, rather than any ‘chancers’. I’ve had several ‘lambs’ picked up in the last few years, which have been invoiced as ‘adult sheep’, but a 60kg lamb will cost them as much (or more) to dispose of as a 50 kg hill ewe. The categories are always going to be a bit vague.
