Bazadaise, Blue Albion, Gelbvieh, Gloucester, Kerry, Parthenais and Salers cattle societies all appear to run a herdbook without appearing on the Zootechnical Establishments list that the Animal and Plant Health Agency tell me they rely on when considering an animal to be pedigree when considering higher rates of compensation when slaughtered as a Tb reactor.
The Sheeted Somerset Cattle Project has been trying to get some sense out of the Farm Animals Genetic Respurces Committee for getting on for two years. Their list of organisations https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/567825/bovine-list.pdf
does not include the breeds listed above which appear to run a herdbook and register pedigree animals.
Can the learned members of TFF help me with any information about breeders of pedigree Bazadaise, Blue Albion, Gelbvieh, Gloucester, Kerry, Parthenais and Salers cattle?
I need to know if they have had any problems with proper compensation for pedigre anmals slaughtered as Tb reactors in England particularly.
FAnGR do not appeared to be geared up to dealng with the concept of a new cattle breed being developed despite being told in April 2016 by the Minister of State (when I was present and George Eustice MP decided that LVSP LVSomerset Project should be added to the CTS breed code list?) to set out a proceedure for new cattle breed recognition.
The Dutch don't appear to have any problems if the Improved Dutch Red is anything to go by so why do English cattle breeders not have the same support from DEFRA?
