iverjohnston

I have had reactors on the annual test. Vet tagged with the red tag, but not yet valued by the valuer. One of them died of tetany yesterday. Have i a hope in hell of getting any compensation for this animal? Iver in Cavan

No chance atall I'd say. Even if it had been valued I'd say you would not get paid unless it was delivered live to factory.

9 Unusual Situations
9.1 Reactor Dies Before Valuation
Where a reactor dies before valuation occurs, the Valuer will still visit the farm and determine the valuation in accordance with the guidelines. However, payment of compensation for such animals will be assessed on a case by case basis taking account of any information available as to the cause of death of the animal. In any event, knackery costs will not be paid for such animals unless the cause of death can be certified as TB by a vet as being due to TB infection and certification of same can be provided by the farmer.

9.2 Reactor Dies After Valuation
Payment in respect of an animal that dies after valuation and prior to removal for factory slaughter will as per 9.1 above be considered on a case by case basis taking account of any information available as to the cause of death of the animal . Knackery costs will not be paid for animals unless the cause of death can be certified as TB by a vet as due to TB infection and certification of same can be provided by the farmer.

Hey legwax, no problem. Valuer rang, and will visit before the knackery man arrives. Thanks everyone, Iver.

cow man

Unfortunately as the death was not caused by her having TB I cant see them paying up.

No I read it that compo will be paid regardless of cause of death - but costs of knackery removal will be paid only if death was due to TB. ??
