"Native breed farmers tend to market outside of conventional supply chains. It is therefore vital that breeders can access local abattoirs. This is not just about the number but the distribution of abattoirs.”

George Eustice made some alarming comments on the state of the local #abattoir network at #OFC22 yesterday - as did Welsh Minister Lesley Griffiths. Great report from @PhilipCaseFW
