"Record Price for Shorthorn"

A new record price for a Shorthorn female was set at the elite sale following the All Breeds Dairy Show when the maiden heifer Marleycote Fleur 30th from G G Baynes and Sons was sold for 3600gns.

The buyer was the judge Seimon Thomas who had earlier placed the calf first in the maiden heifer class.

IMPLEMENTATION OF FOOD CHAIN INFORMATION FOR CATTLE SHEEP AND GOATS

From the 1st of January 2010, all cattle moving to slaughter, either directly or through a livestock market, must move with a farmer signed declaration, declaring the animals are free from disease and residues from veterinary medicines that may have been administered to them, as part of the implementation of the Food Chain Information regulations.

The declaration forms can be downloaded from the FSA website and should be filled in and accompany all animals destined for slaughter Click here for form

It is most important you fill in and sign the declarations every time you send animals to a fat stock market or to an abattoir. If the animals arrive without the signed declaration, they will not be accepted by the Meat Hygiene Inspectors and you will not be paid for the animals.

The Land Of The Long White Cloud - By Graham Madeley

“You will never be any closer!” was the message from our New Zealand friends when they knew I would be in Australia for the Illawarra conference and tour. I had visited New Zealand for six cow free days in 1977 so I welcomed the chance to see some New Zealand Milking Shorthorns as well as spending some time in good company. >>more
