I do it anyways but on app only and killed phone a couple of weeks ago and found out it wasn't saved on cloud like I thought (n). One less thing to do anyway.(y)
One good thing so far and probably the only thing that I enjoyed is that I found vets had charged us for 21 bottle of alimycin la.... I had 20mls :scratchhead:

What did you put for procedure for activists? I'm thinking spade, hole and a good alibi :woot:

Didn't get asked about that! I see in the October amendments livestock buildings should now be secure so as to prevent escape :banghead: I did wonder why we were down on milk Mr inspector then realised 38 of my cows had been missing for over a week, thankfully now due to red tractor, these problems will be a thing of the past

My last one was going very well until the inspector asked to see some youngstock and I suggested jumping in my car to drive down the road to see them.

Apparently having a bottle of LA in the cars cup holder and half of the rest of the medicine cabinet in the passenger foot well is approved..
Youngstock an hour away from home Farm , guess we won't have time to do the paperwork :whistle: , he did want to come next month but told him unless he had a passport it was now or the spring:)

It always amazes me how the inspectors will ask you a question in a certain way that they've answered it for themselves and I just say yes before moving.on to some irrelevant nonsense.

My last (and first) inspection the inspector seemed more interested in a straw bale building and diversification on the farm than the actual RT stuff.

I only had to add a column adding the date of withdrawal ending, and I did that in front of them. Its nonsense anyway as we're organic so the withdrawals are longer.

I think as long as you pass the attitude test the inspectors want you to pass, and will word questions to get the correct answer.
