UPDATE ON RAW MILK:
We are still waiting for the Animal & Plant Health Agency (APHA) to
confirm the 1st of our TB herd short interval tests, which is due
any time soon. We will then have to wait
60 days after this test for the 2nd short interval herd TB test.
Providing
both of these are clear, we will be able to start selling raw milk again, which
will probably be in the autumn. The
timescale of these tests is completely out of our hands, which is why it is
taking longer than we originally thought!
At
the moment, the APHA have no evidence that we have TB, but nonetheless because
we had a heifer react to the TB skin test back in April, we lost our official
TB free status and therefore we need to pass the 2 short interval skin tests to
regain our official TB free status that we need to sell raw milk.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
