Hook and Son – Temporary Suspension of our Raw Milk sales

Although we didn’t have any TB reactors at our TB skin test this month, we had 7 animals that were ‘inconclusive.’ This means they were neither clear nor a reactor. Since 2007 when we started selling raw milk, we have had continuous Official TB Free status with occasional inconclusive at our annual TB test during that time. We have never had TB. In April 2018 we had our first ever TB reactor. Despite the government killing 31 of our cows, no actual TB was ever found, and over a year later we regained our Official TB Free status and ability to sell raw milk. Un beknown to us, however, is the ‘3 Year Rule.’ This means that for three years following the April 2018 TB reactor, if we have an in-conclusive animal at a TB test, then we lose our TB free status until that animal passes a retest 60 days later. This is the situation we’re now in. Our TB free status has been temporarily withdrawn and we have been notified by the Food Standards Agency to stop selling raw milk until the inconclusive animals are clear at their retest in early December. We will update you with any developments.
