One source of concern now put to bed. 150,000 cows to be slaughtered over the next two years out of a total population of 6.5m cow. At 2.3% of population shouldn't have any impact on ATM

Natural accretion in numbers in the normal course of events on a national basis will see that replaced very easily and affected farms only have to stay fallow for 60 days. No worries, bring on $13 again.

They are including cattle already slaughtered so 126000 to go. About 10 million cattle in NZ therefore only 1.26% of the national herd. (Probably less than deaths by natural causes)

That's a tiny percentage of the national herd, and then what percent of that are A2M aligned cows?

M-b is a wake up call for all companies relying on one biological(?) raw material, which is vulnerable to the randomness of nature. I’d like to see ATM develop a bit of diversity.. almond milk anyone? Interesting to see if the big boys price in bio-security.

Almond milk is 3% almonds and 96% water.
Rump steak on special here atm. Not a nice thought though thinking one may be eating MB meat

. Even though its supposed to be safe for humans be nice to see a link to that for verification. Is A2 meat marketed as such, now theres an added value thought
