[QUOTE="Monty, post: 5300530, member: 775"] Maybe you could try a different assurance scheme if there are still others about. We used to be with freedom foods years ago until dad got pee'd off with them being very uppity about the number of available cubicles for our heifers and had no real interest in the health or well being of our animals. So he wrote them a very angry letter explaining this and we never had an inspection for about 5 years after that until our dairy realised then we moved on to red tractor. TBH I think It's actually worth all the mither as we saw a big increase in prices for our barren cows and calves which more than paid for the fees and the wasted day telling the inspector what they want to hear. We generally get a few non compliances to fix each year which tend to be straightforward to do but i remember one year I didn't have time to fix a parlour feed trough but sorted the other stuff out and emailed the pics/evidence but they still passed us and sent the thank you letter and stickers out despite not sorting the trough out in time. Kind of makes a mockery of the whole thing really. [/QUOTE]
