    That's a different discussion altogether.

    Interesting. Can you expand on your thoughts on why it's not improved in 60 years when in Scotland they only test every 3 years? Sorry for derailing but a very important issue.

    approx 13% of the cost of the bovine tb eradication scheme goes in compensation to the farmers, the rest is administration

    easy to see why the scheme is a shambles,

    Feel free to start a different thread to discuss it.............. as it'll take this one off-track.

    Ok lads that's totally off topic. But feel free to start your own thread on tb if u wish. Just don't think u need to be starting on greysides about this, if u have any issues maybe u should start with ur own vet. I for one think we're v lucky to have a vet whose willing to share their opinions on this forum, a valuable contributor, let's hope it stays that way.

    I think you picked me up completely wrong there, I am in no way having a cut of Greysides but I have often wondered how we are testing for tb for so long yet we seem to be no closer to having it eridacated, who better to ask than a vet?? I'll say no more about it.

    Fair enough, my post wasn't specifically aimed at u, but at people expecting greysides to defend the last 50 yrs of tb eradication in this country. I'd hate if someone like greysides ended up closing their accounts over something as trivial as this, people have closed accounts for a lot less.

    AFAIK, there are a few suppliers of Spar & Mace own brand milk, depending on what part of the country you are in. Glanbia definitely supply it, Strathroy, Dairyland ,Clona Dairy & Arrabawn also supply it.


    Your quite right, nearly all of the ROI dairys are listed to supply spar/mace own label including strathroy, but strathroy cannot use the NDC logo as their milk is produced in NI and sourced in NI ROI AND GB. Just look for the NDC logo on whatever milk your buying and you are guaranteed thats it from ROI. All strathroy milk will have a UK stamp on the back, they have the contract for topaz own label milk..
