[QUOTE="Agrivator, post: 6869361, member: 461"] I'm not particularly interested in my neighbour's profits, but I might have an opinion on whether or not they're running a decent, sensible and reasonably good welfare system. Most of us will have or will have had a farmer in the locality who has no right whatsoever to keep livestock, but who might be farm assured and who presumes to be setting some sort of trend for their stick-in-the-mud neighbouring lagards. In a former life as an Agricultural Advisory and Development Officer with SAC in Scotland, I have known a number of such embarrassing cases. And if the farm with 45 enclosures is near the Starchur I am familiar with, near Lephinmore on Loch Fyne in Argyllshire, such a system would not only be a disaster, it would be a severe welfare issue. As a point of interest, Lephinmore was a wet hill farm run by the former Hill Farming Research Organisation. It was where the late Sandy Whitelaw significantly reduced and more-or-less eliminated a severe fluke problem by a concerted summer-dosing policy. And that [B]did[/B] have the appreciation of the local and wider farming community. [/QUOTE]
