    I think we'll cope without them.
    Added to that, they aren't all dairy cattle - there are some beef cattle, calf rearers etc affected. Not sure how many are associated with Van Leeuwen's in South Canty, but they were the first farm identified and have 16 farms in total - and have a number of farms affected by livestock movements. Understand they are supplying Oceania at Glenavy.

    A good opportunity for the unfortunate farmers to restock with A2 cows perhaps?

    They shouldn't hold their breath waiting for Fonterra to give them that advice lol

    That is 6.49 million dairy cattle, not dairy cows. Considering most farmers try to rear 25% replacements each year, you have two years of replacements before they become dairy cows. Also those cull cows will still be culled. Many farmers are still on the back foot when it comes to numbers from when they cut back in the last big down turn. I think it will have more of an affect than you think.

    But yes if it hasn't gotten into the A2 herds then ATM should not be affected.

    There seems to be a lot of confusion in this thread with affect/effect.
    The cull will have a severe effect on some farmers. They will be affected emotionally as well. When will MPI effect the cull?

    That's why the word 'Impact' is the new verb to use, covers both bases without having to think about it.The cull will have a severe impact on some farmers. They will be impacted emotionally as well.

    While we're on it. The mycoplasm outbreak resulted from some loose biosecurity. Farmers have much to lose.

    I read somewhere yesterday that they will not be allowed to have animals on these farms for quite some time, maybe 2 years. A terrible blow for the farmers impacted.
