I wonder how long the farmer wishes the diversion to last ffor ? a few weeks or till TB is no more ? Sounds like a slippery slope this, if successful many farms will be closing the countryside.
I can think of a farm who still has signs up deterring the use of a path for covid - it's no where near the farm.
West Kernow Way - polite request from a farmer
Re: West Kernow Way - polite request from a farmer
Animal identification tags are sold as being tamperproof. Believe me they are not. I could and maybe should have written a book about all the dodges with tags.
Any inspectors of movement records and trading standards are just that. I never met a poacher cum gamekeeper in my working life.
Here in Scotland we are a clean area and rules apply if I for example bought a calf from a dirty area then I would then be open to extra testing. No one likes all the unprofitable work involved with testing. There are a couple of easy ways around it.
Or another example I put some grazing animals on a farm. The farm is on 6 monthly testing but my farm is only yearly. The fields aren’t double fenced and stock can socialise over the fence. I don’t put that movement in my books or on the database as it will trigger extra testing work for me. The farm takes the payment for a load of forage and no one is any wiser. Only now I’ve got a positive test. Eee well I ain’t got a clue how them animals have contracted it must be them ( insert who you dislike). It’s a mystery ain’t it?
I must add that in no way am I saying this is what has happened with this case. I’m merely making you aware of what can and does happen.
Whatever I am, wherever I am, this is me. This is my life
