[QUOTE="Frank-the-Wool, post: 6955534, member: 699"] There is no doubt that knacker costs and the difficulties of getting casualty animals killed in an abattoir has meant many animals are kept alive on farm for far too long. In many ways I blame the Vets for not being more sensible about allowing casualty animals to travel. Often abattoir vets are more understanding. I saw a steer on a farm recently that had injured its leg and even though it would put weight on all legs the Vet would not sanction it going 15 miles to the nearest abattoir. So the farmer had to fork out £150 to have it killed and taken away from the farm. [/QUOTE]
