Livestock finance

Looking into livestock finance to speed up expanding my flock. Am I mad to even think about this or is it quite common? Feel like it might be a “he who dares wins” time.
But who knows what’s round the corner.

Plenty expand their flocks using overdrafts or the Bounce Back Loan, both of which are a source of finance.

If you can make the repayments work then why not? What sort of interest rates are there on ‘livestock finance’, I would imagine quite high?

I see the market report in paper breeding ewes making £200 that would be enough for me to enquire about driving a delivery van for Morrison or DPD but don't let that put you off if you want to do it go and do it
Well you go do that then 👍🏻

Those who dare wins, or you’ve got to be in it to win it both appeal. There are some options available between different groups/slaughterhouses/ dealers etc etc…

Petition: Temporary Ban on agricultural use of sewage cake

In order to protect our land, we’re seeking a temporary ban of the agricultural use of sewage cake until better testing and treatment of waste can be proven. We call on all farmers after this harvest to refuse to accept any more until things change.

Some research suggests that the contamination of land is far more serious than just heavy metal build ups. There is an increasing amount of micro plastics and forever chemicals appearing in sewage cake. We think testing for these when it leaves the processing plants isn’t adequate, and that processing needs to adapt to be able to remove these contaminants.
