If you rely on cats for vermin control, make sure you write the dates you spied on them and checked they are working!...no I have no idea either

 

[Werzle]

Ended my association with FA this month, time will tell if it was a good idea or not. Nice to save some money, if i only sell store cattle which will need atleast 4 months further finishing will i even need a VAN number?

You need a depth measure for how far up in needs shoving.

Will a photo of them with a rat/rabbit/pigeon in their mouth suffice?

We ended RT about 18 months ago when the cows went and now only sell stores, never been asked for a VAN number

give them a simple non conformance they can pick you up on, it keeps them happy and stops them looking further, I take the no smoking sign off the chem store and remove the fire extinguisher, then a day or so later when I've been failed I put the sign back up, return the fire extinguisher take 2 photos and email them to the tossers.

But had you had a clean slate to begin with then they might leave you alone for 18 months.

I had a clean slate last time. Managed to drag 14 months out of them this time by the time they come.
Wanted to come next week! Pushed them back to end of june

Its either cats or poison here, so its allways been cats and plenty of. The only question is "when do you worm them ?"
"they re semi ferral, live and breed here" and thats was the end to that interigation for one year, to be repeated every year

I refuse to get involved so use an agent to do mine. The last one he ticked every single ridiculous box. The inspector actually said ‘I have to find something wrong’ so I wouldn’t count on a clean slate being useful

You’ll fail if you do a Basil Faulty and there’s a grain weevil swimming in his tea.

Ditch the Rodent Turds.

When I was young and keen I would try and get a pass, never seemd to stop them turing up each year

 

[slackjawedyokel]

I think what’s new is that you can now, at length, take them through each and every grievance you have with RT.

 

[DrWazzock]

Go through the spray store and check that pesticide MAPP number approvals are still in date on the HSE website.
If you use untreated urea make sure you applied it all before the end of March. They’ll be looking at that this year.
