This is what you call strength in numbers, what a turn out by the farming community. Thanks to all that made today happen, it’s time to stand against what I can only say is a pivotal moment. #FoodSecurity

@ArnoldClark buy a car from Arnold Clark they said…… great customer service they said….. it will be easy….
Not our experience at all, car broke down less than 10miles from your garage! Communication 0 …. Many hours spent chasing to no avail….
My advice would be avoid

Great to be working with @eriskaypony_eps and @nottstrentuni to save the fortunes of this wonderful breed.

Albions: Originally known as “Bakewell Blues” or “Blue Albions”, the breed was said to be a cross between the Welsh Black and the White Dairy Shorthorn. In recent years the ‘blue’ was dropped to better reflect the variety of colours. #gonative #heritagebreedsweek

The new RBST Watchlist, published today in a fresh format, reflects growing recognition among farmers and smallholders of the commercial potential and environmental importance of the UK’s rare breeds of livestock and equines.

Spot milk, what spot milk? This cold snap has pretty much dried up what was already, and has been for some time now a pretty thinly traded market. Speaking with several buyers this week who have had to go out in search and buy prices range from 30ppl to almost 32ppl delivered.

[Christopher Price @RareBreedChris]

So pleased to be a part of this. A comprehensive network of local abattoirs, able to process small numbers of non-standard animals without compromising welfare is essential for a viable sustainable livestock sector. #GoNative

@TheRangeUK Appalled by my visit to your store at Meadow Hall retail park today. Staff wearing face coverings as chin guards, on speaking to the store manager it’s not an issue... Maybe some staff training needs to be done! #avoid #notcovidsecure #Christmas2020
