[QUOTE="steveR, post: 7507733, member: 66976"] Thought I would ask this here for a bit more clarification. Herself has bought a few calves this week for the first time in ages, one to suckle on a cow who had a dead calf, and a few more for luck :-) Popped to Shrewsbury and then bought them from Drayton... What set me pondering was the low prices in Shrewsbury for some 2 month old calves flagged as Arla, fair enough, I know that they are not supposed to go for slaughter as calves, but I wondered what was the law on this? Then on Wed at Drayton, Herself bought a nice bull calf with an Arla flag, and I was expected to sign a document about the subsequent life of the calf AFTER I paid. Now this is the first time this had happened and set me thinking, if I have just bought a calf in market, what legal right does the owner have to insist that I follow some rule imposed by his milk buyer? Dont ever recall the matter being raised in the conditions of sale.... I seem to recall buying calves with a Tesco sticker that mau have been the same, but no paperwork then... [/QUOTE]
