There was misleading media coverage over the weekend about the case of Geronimo the alpaca, who has tested positive for TB twice. Read our blog: deframedia.blog.gov.uk/2021/…

When it comes to dealing with Covid (or any other scientific / disease challenges for that matter) Boris Johnson is absolutely right in the need to focus on 'data, not dates'. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-56095552

Covid: Boris Johnson to focus on 'data, not dates' for lockdown easing

Livestock farmers, hauliers & others in the supply chain please respond to this consultation by 28 Jan. It's not just about live exports. These proposals would severely impact all sectors and the whole supply chain. @RGFWesterdale

Defra consultation to ban live exports. Whilst this attracted the headlines other measures including reducing journey times & temperature restrictions has the potential to cause huge disruption & add significant cost burdens to farmers & supply chains nfuonline.com/sectors/livest…
