What’s the crack with the tb over there?
I think everything that comes over has to be tested within 60 days of arrival. That’s the case with bulls anyway.
That would require to be answered by some of the NI contingent for clarity & accuracy

There’s a lot here a few miles down the road so if they have a problem it’s mine too.
I know several lots will have been purchased at this side of the water & some will end up at this side of the water, there are usually a wide spread of buyers from the U.K mainland purchase from them, I would imagine they are in a health scheme if they can transport across the borders............they show cattle regularly over here
His sales always look like they'd be good craic as there always plenty quality stock & then Nelson has the Tractors & trucks so there would be a whole group of like minded folk rattling about the area staying in the locality, local pubs would have an interesting cross section & it would be a fine couple of days break, the Irish hospitality is always welcoming - he even caters for the Sheep Addicts with a sale - it'will certainly cost you though even if you are only spectating.
TB in N Ireland is much like any other region that their respective department has failed.
Every herd is on an annual test and is closed if there is a skin reactor. The department deems neighbouring herds to anyone closed as high risk and they move to a 4 month test.
James is obviously open to trade much like anyone else not under restriction. With the amount of testing and moving going on, stock from his herd will probably have had more tests than mainland herds. I would say thats a good thing, heifers are batched for AI and remain batched. I think he vaccinates for BVD - or used to prior to the south banning imports of vaccinated livestock.
Any testing on arrival into buying herds is a requirement of the local department and should be taken up with them.

It's pretty much like a dealers yard as far as movements go, in fact some dealers won't have as much going in and off their yards.

Well this is what my lad keeps saying to me but I haven’t managed to get into that systemIf they are cattle bred this side of the water is there any need to buy them from Ireland and have to pay a premium for the jalex name.....could buy bulling heifers this side of the water and bull them with your own good bulls.
Some I’ve bought incalf were very dear as store cattle more than I would of paid for them
