My time is going. What about herds that do not buy in? Dairy farmers generally do not buy in; they rear their own. That is what they have been doing. At the same time, we are being told that they are the ones with a higher prevalence of TB breakdown than beef herds, which are buying in more often. That is caused by badgers and deer spreading the disease.
