Re: France will be the loser when we leave!
That doesn't surprise me swim, my niece and her husband breed rare breeds of cattle. They and farmers in general acknowledge the only reason French and European farmers have what appears to be less mad cow foot and mouth and the like is because they don't report it. We have strict rules that are adhered to.19-04-2017, 10:21 AM

The UK exports 10% of it's beef production to France.
So much for the French not eating British Beef because French is better.

Now before you go off on another one , the UK exports cheese to France as well, lots of it.
Our cheese exports to France were up by 22% last year whilst French Exports of Cheese to the UK were down by 19%.
Your famed French Butter?
Same story i'm afraid, loads going to France.
BTW 22% and 19% of what? Not very much?
I really couldn't care. You have made it clear that you want to keep your beef or whatever . I suggest it won't make a blind bit of difference in Europe. it will, however, hit your farmers' incomes.

Re: France will be the loser when we leave!
Julie a cow kept in a barn where other livestock are housed will infect the others. When you have a barnful of sick cows it becomes quite apparent.I lived and worked amongst French agricultural people for years. Believe me they cannot afford sick animals. They have contracts to fill and need the vets' certificates to make the sales. And these cert are available to view at every butchers' and supermarket counter on request. Included in the cert is the name of the farmer, the farm and its location. You are free to visit it.
