The movement ban came into effect from 5pm tonight.
What a pain again, the markets had just opened up fully again on Monday. I’m lucky, we don’t sell any of ours till Nov/Dec, or even the new year.
What they didn’t tell you last time was they put the price paid to the farmer down, but said FMD caused the retail price to increase.
I truly hope this is not the beginning of F&M becoming “endemic” in the UK.
This new case just should not have occurred.
As far as the “pricing advantages” being taken? then the Govt has to take responsibility & stamp down upon it PDQ . (I doubt they will, mind)

could have been legal - I had a legal load of cattle last night, left a market at 9pm with a defra licence
ban didn’t come into force until 3.00 according to the defra officials I was talking to !

yes, if the sheep were in a market yesterday they could have been held overnight, inspected by vets and licenced out today
I had cattle licenced out of a market 9.00 last night but they held stock in Frome, Exeter, Newton Abbot & others nationally
Lets hope it is nipped in the bud asap, this affects all of us - particularly in rural communities. Also, guys like Denis seem to have been hard done by before (compensation for everyone except hauliers 
), lets hope it is different this time.

I hope you are wrong and they pull their finger out from up their…nose and sort it out.
Good luck anyway Denis.
