I have no problem with RPA inspections but how reasonable should it be...
I explain ...
20 mins ago had a phone call " I need to come and do a whole herd tag test on one of your holdings"
I explained that
a, the cattle were alli out on grass keep and not back till end of next week
b, we have just managed to have a bit of summer and we are busy harvesting
c, we are TB testing on the 18th Sept can it not be done then?
No ,we have to do it within 48 hrs he replied .
I've told him I'm not prepared to do it as it's totally inconvenient and I have no spare time atm .
....I did make a concession by saying that he can come round 6am Fri morning and look at passports and the come with me whe I feed then and try and read tags while they are mopping up their feed .
"That is not convenient," I'm told, " I have to drop the children off at school before I come out "
So he has been told ...I'm just NOT doing g it !!!
So....am I unreasonable?
My MP has already been alerted to the problem !
