In 2001 when foot and mouth hit, where there problems with milk crossing the border?

I know Ballyrashane stepped in and took a lot of Donegal creamery milk although it had to be done on the quiet as it wasn’t been bought through the auction.

That'll put an end to the grass now. Might be able to dodge about with the cows until the end of the week. Start to house youngstock this week also. Silage be all needed before May morning.

Still waiting on my low carbon emission barley to be cut, maybe I should have bought some of your high air miles straw after all.:(
sh!t i still have spring rape and beans, cutting barley in October is not un heard off hopefully some good weather will come and you will get it in good order . Straw might be scarce yet .
