We expect those retailers to keep to their promises. I am therefore extremely disappointed to see retailers reneging on commitments with produce such as beef from Uruguay on Asda shelves and beef from Australia on Morrisons shelves.

Defra is replacing CTS (Cattle Tracing System) with the LIS, with the aim of bringing in other livestock, including sheep and goats, onto this multi species platform in England.

To the editor,Last week I visited a family sheep farm in Nieuwkoop, western Netherlands. It was a cold but surprisingly blue sky day and the farm looked like many other northern European farms producing food for the continent. Apart from it wasn’t. In autumn 2023, the young farming couple at the helm of operations noticed initial signs of the BTV-3 (Bluetongue) virus. Within just a few weeks the farm lost around 65 sheep from the flock.
