hypocitical milk man! may i say our best performing beef cattle are from non assured holdings!
Milk is something that come from the diet amd conditions of the animal in the last 24 hours not from the whole life of the animal, same as eggs, or slightly longer term wool.

Would you expect land to be assured to 1000's of years to grow assured wheat?

I would expect it to be assured from when it is sown at least.

And the best grossing cattle sold either live or dead, prime or cows, don’t need to be FA. Buyers include Pearson, Worsley,Penny, Fitton, Jewitt, Owain Llyr Buying bulls and cows in excess of £2000/head, clean cattle over £1800 or £2.80/kg. The premium is in the cattle not the assurance

Its not you the assurance scheme are there to reassure.
The issue also is that the consumer don't pay a premium for the assurance.
both have drug residues etc sometimes
Yes but withdrawal periods for milk are shorter than meat.
That is exactly my point.
Metacam is 5 days milk but 3 times longer for meat.
