I look after a few applications based around dairy production systems. So i'm sure my car is going to have to go through wash systems.

Squeezebm....higher prices affects my livelihood and business. Of course I'm concerned about British farmers!

McDonald's is one of the biggest purchasers of British and Irish beef. We use only forequarter and flank cuts from over 9,000 cattle each week, raised by 16,000 British and Irish farmers.

Adult animals may suffer weight loss from which they do not recover for several months as well as swelling in the testicles of mature males, and in cows, milk production can decline significantly. Though most animals eventually recover from FMD, the disease can lead to myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and death, especially in newborn animals. Some infected animals remain asymptomatic, that is, they do not suffer from or show signs of the disease; but they are carriers of FMD and can transmit it to others.

Silent Fields..... Empty Lanes.....
Drifting smoke.....Distant Flames.....

Picture postcard hills on fire....
Cattle burning in funeral pyres....

It's out to graze they look so sweet
We hate the blood... we want the meat...

Buy me a beer, I'll take my knife,
and cut you a piece of Country life..
