#FactFriday Did you know that a well-trained dog can save a farmer a lot of effort when working with sheep?🐑🐕

Nearly every sheep farmer in the UK will have a dog to assist them in their daily tasks. It is a highly specialised job with tremendous trust, skill and responsibility

Do you supply livestock to abattoirs that export meat and other products to the EU, even if indirectly via markets?

If so, from 13 December 2023, you will need to provide evidence that your farm has received vet visits for animal health purposes.
