[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6337720, member: 348"] To get a flock accredited, you need to have two clear tests on every animal, six months apart. Budget for a fiver (conservatively) a sheep each time, assuming you get set up to do them efficiently & quickly (with vet time at £100/hr), x2. After that, you obviously need to abide by the rules & restrictions, then test either all, or a proportion (depending on flock size) every 3 years, all rams every year and all bought in accredited animals within 12 months of arriving. From memory, double fencing needs a 2m gap. A hedge with a fence on either side is generally that, or could be made to be. Alternatively, don’t graze the fields adjoining non-Mv neighbours when their sheep are in those fields. It’s certainly not cheap to get into. [/QUOTE]
