Foot and Mouth case confirmed
Following the announcement of a confirmed case of foot-and-mouth on a beef unit between Aldershot and Guildford, Surrey, Taking Stock are still unsure as to what this will mean for the scheduled livestock shows and sales across the country.
BBS News 24 are stating that two major agricultural shows in Scotland will go ahead this weekend without cows, sheep and goats, due to the restrictions.
