Huge numbers of sucks being talked about more than 10,000 I just couldn't see this being the case ? Surely it would be more widely known if a move like this was going on. It would be a very worrying move if it were.

Out would spell out a poor future for beef farmers if the processors are allowed to manipulate supply like this. Do the factories run such factory farms in the UK to control the market ??

Went back down and another shagging calf had been out through the barrier and eaten half the bag and all the powder:eek::eek: I don't even know what's in the powder, it's a mix up the vet does himself. Smells like bananas so I can see why the other calf ate it but I do know it had a meat 28days and milk 11 day withdraw period. They wouldn't take it if you wanted them to :pac: Better go back in and get more and ask vet if it's any more harm other than a sore h*ole for the calf.

.Kovu. wrote: » Have a new packet of powder now at least. It really does smell like banana custard so I don't blame the poor calf. I do however, blame her for the chewed up syringe that I needed to dose with. Antichrist of a thing. Then spent ages wandering round the shed trying to find a cow with tag 131, found a complete tag at the barrier. I was thinking it was a strange number for us. Not a single cow in the place with it, so must have been baled into it last summer. Picked up a few needles that the calf must have knocked down too, stuck them in my pocket and now they are sitting next to the laptop after I sat on them. I think I'll just give up for the day.

He was well entitled to lose the plot. Why be invited onto a programme to be patronised? Some may think him a whacko, but my estimation of him has gone up tenfold.
