I want to follow on briefly from the comment made on Brexit and the UK market. There is a significant market in the United Kingdom for breeding dairy stock, in the southern part in particular. It depends on currency exchange rates. There might be nothing one year and a big fluctuation the next. On moving in-calf heifers and dairy stock to the United Kingdom, what will the impact of Brexit be? Has it been thought through? What preparations have been made in realigning our markets in the event that there is a hard Brexit? Even though there are no calves going there, the dairy industry has a significant interest in securing access to the UK market for breeding Friesian heifers.
