VAN numbers

[Jerry]

Had my vet visit for a VAN as part of my tb test last week.

£40

 

[The Jolly Farmer]

One of the buyers in UA Stirling on Thursday was asking if lambs were FA, first time in years. I not saying he wasn't buying non Fa lambs but it was clear some accounts were only taking FA lambs. Never asked about VAN numbers.

 

[Werzle]

Yep. We were all told, and warned.


But nahh it was just scaremongering by the remainers - there was going to be a big ol' bonfire in London Town with all the rules and regs being used to keep it lit and we'd be free to do what we want...

Fvcking retards

Remoaner syndrome worse than long covid

 

[Tomo23]

Had mine last week. Popped head over gate and asked a few questions.

Pickstocks sent an email out last week. Either FA or a VAN number otherwise they don't want it. No market for it.

Not at all. If you voted as you did with your eyes open and knew they likes of this would be the result then fine...


But far too many didn't - and it's obvious on this thread alone... "But we're not in the EU"

We all knew this was going to happen, I am surprised it took so long to implement.

Yes there wasn’t any doubt about what would happen. A lot of beef and lamb now is going through Northern Ireland then over the soft border into Southern Ireland the exported to mainland Europe.
Of course the Brexiteers amongst us look at the EU export figures and get excited and think the jobs on track. They don’t realise that Ireland x2 Northern and Southern are taking their cut whatever it may be out of it before it gets there. What we would normally export ourselves. Look at clean cattle 30p a kilo dearer over there. For the main part of my life Irish cattle and sheep came here because they were worth more here. The light lamb jobs been virtually non existent which was a great way of cashing in lighter hill lambs with a bit flesh on. When it did turn up it was too late really. That only gives us two options one is to feed them or give them away.
We’ve handed our trade away and opened the doors to everything that’s rubbish and shouldn’t be here
The whole lot of it is an absolute load of shyte

Not really, farmers don't want more paperwork and unnecessary costs applied.

Farms will need full time office staff in the not too distant future and probably vetinary Inspections like abattoirs.

Back in 2016, I was told that a FUW office had a phone call on the morning after the referendum, asking if it alright to bury sheep again now...

Are those actual facts? Any links to where this info came from? Seems to me the remoaners claim anything bad that has happened since brexit gets blamed on brexit and anything good would have happened regardless of brexit. Gets abit tiresome

Your talking nonsense, everybody in all walks of life in every western country is getting more paperwork. Its just modern life. Its got fck all to do with brexit, its mostly about covering arses/insurance /H & S and in farmings case export food safety.

1st September France were getting €8/kg DW for their lambs (which was down €0.02/kg on the same week the year previous).

UK were on £5.65ish

I don't know what the exchange rate was at that time, but doing it for today's rate means we should be at £6.88/kg and we are nowhere near it.

Whats the price on average for all the EU countries? From what i can see the uk beef price is higher than the EU's and both N and S ireland Since brexit we dont seem swamped with irish beef that was actually polish either.

That’s the point. They are selling it elsewhere for much more that’s why it’s not coming here we can’t sell it at the correct value because we have trade friction now
