I genuinely didn’t realise you’d been stuck under TB restrictions for this long 😔. For us none agricultural lot, we need to hear what farmers like you have to get through with it as most won’t know. Well done to your mum for putting your little script together 👍
TB is a right bugger when we went down years ago we lost 180 in total over 8 months we lost around 140 milking cows out of 215 and I remember a pen of 8 weaned calves all went really sole destroying glad you went clear good time of year to be selling stores they're on fire at the moment
I'm sure Dan it's been a relief to finally get clear been there got the tea shirt The stress is a big problem A friend has been down over two years lost 97 at the first test and 54 over the next 2 years space has been his biggest problem in Norhern Ireland you can't sell animals of the farm other than to the abattoir he was having to keep every calf it was affecting his mental health
Not boring at all. I hadn't realised you had been shut down for so long, probably because you never mentioned it. I do remember when yopu first announced it, how emotional you were. Hopefully that the end, at least for a while. Good luck going forward.
Really feel for you and family, staff dan. I was in nantwich, cheshire with cows 89-99, tb wasnt a worry. Moved to suffolk then norfolk managing cows and we were blessed as mainly arable areas, few cows, tb wasnt a problem, we were on 4 yr testing. I knew guys in somerset etc testing 2 mthly and thought jezz, poor buggers. Well done on getting thro it mentally and financially.
Thanks for sharing your story Dan and glad you're finally clear. We've gone down with TB from this week again. We have a beef rearing unit and buy in all our stock, so it's a bit of a disaster. I am glad that you have explained that there is a big knock on effect when your farm gets shutdown.
it’s absolutely mind blowing how little the news covers tb, every time it’s on it’s always a badger thing and how bad that is, but this side is never covered, country file only ring badger experts in never discuss with farmers what they go through emotionally or financially!
Good video Dan thank you for taking time to tell us about your experience with TB that's one hard road you have been on for the last few years really hope things improve for you and your family now
Very interesting video Dan, always knew TB was a grim disease to have on the farm but didn't know all the ins and outs of it and would say a very well done to have weathered that storm 🙄😕 I feel very fortunate to have never worked on a farm up here 🏴 that has ever faced these issues, 🤞 for the future of the farm 💪👍
Thank you for that very interesting insight into the problems you face with TB . As a non farmer , I found it most informative . Please don`t be cautious about giving another " no nonsense " talk about any subject on your farm . Best wishes to you and your farm .
It's great that you are now out of the restrictions! TB is such a massive problem here in the Southwest and it's great that you have highlighted it. I worked on a few dairy and beef farms and loved the work but left after an illness made it difficult for me to work full time in that environment. Sadly they were shutdown just before I left because of TB and now the farm is completely empty as a result.
Dan, thanks so much for the detailed, heart braking and informative presentation. Not one bit boring. Can't believe it's two years from your first announcement of the TB which took nearly a third of your family's living away over the course of a year. So glad to hear you are clear. I hope the stores sell well! Perhaps because it's a political hot potato you didn't go into any thoughts on why the South West is so afflicted.
Not boring, really good factual description. You have my total sympathies

I'm sure Dan it's been a relief to finally get clear
been there got the tea shirt
The stress is a big problem
A friend has been down over two years
lost 97 at the first test and 54 over the next 2 years
space has been his biggest problem in Norhern Ireland you can't sell animals of the farm other than to the abattoir
he was having to keep every calf
it was affecting his mental health
Great news Dan so happy for you must be a great relief 🙋🏼♂️👍🏼
Fingers crossed...Not at all boring...Super news and a great relief.
