Tighter TB Control measures from 6th April 2016

[-chris-]

Heard today that we will have to pay for a post movement test on our store cattle if they come from an annual testing area?

Have I missed the thread about this or is it common knowledge?

[mo!]

It has been very poorly advertised imo. The cattle will need to be fifty quid cheaper that's for sure.

Yep common knowledge

If they are killed within 120 days they will NOT need to be tested and also if they go to an approved fhinshing unit they will NOT need to be tested.

Will cost about £20/ head to test, the farming unions fully support this new measure!
