A new year is only one second away from last year, life throws shite, your aim is to bat it back!, and do as you see fit!!
It was a really crap start to the year, loosing lambs with what I thought was listeriosis from chucking out crappy hay from the bottom of the feeder, but vet reckons ccn... I'd already sold them and was holding on to them till the dealer had time to come get them
But fortunately up in Blair Atholl they have the Auld New Year which was on Friday night just passed, and since then it's been slightly better,

My year wasn't going to bad till Friday first got a phone call to arrange farm assurance inspection (new this was due though)then after dinner a car came into the yard and was a defra inspector to say we had been chosen for a whole herd ear tag check!Had to check it wasn't Friday the 13th.

ff**k that
Very unusual to just turn up in the yard?
I’m assuming this person had the correct identification?
Normally they give notice by telephone.........unless you never answer.

They reserve the right to just turn up but it s usually the Brussels ones that do that. They usually appear about 2 to 3 days after the Defra one has been. They are checking up on the Defra inspector more than the farmer !Very unusual to just turn up in the yard?

So you have to start doing your share then?
I didn't think "liking" your post seemed appropriate. I hope she gets well soon. PM if you fancy a natter.

I had a Defra one two years ago,and the guy just turned up on the friday afternoon as well,same as vulcan,but think we are in the same area.They work out of both Carlisle and Newcastle offices.I couldnt fault them though,very helpful and said dont worry,we will work our way through it.Maybe i was just lucky to get that specific inspector.Its the trading standards lot that get on my wick,and i found them as different as chalk and cheese.Very unusual to just turn up in the yard?

I've been doing ok till today. Reading of troubles getting stock to slaughter, regulations on wood burners and Nitrogen. If I were a little younger I would be looking at emigrating, actually if I could persuade the wife I still would.

I do not know, I read to you from Spain, with other employers, other ways of facing life and I thought that your conditions would be better ... I have long since realized that as a farmer8 I do not have livestock) I was not going to get rich, that is why I took the option of not complicating my life for a long time, investing in the reality of what I can get, trying not to owe money ... life, almost always complicated by us

Makes no difference either way.The Defra one has to be done.The trading standards will just tramp over your farm and buildings regardless,whether you are there or not.
