What if I can not sell other animals?

Information on what happens should you be unable to sell cattle from your herd due to restrictions.

Movement restrictions may cause difficulties such as the need for extra housing and feed for stock that you would normally have sold, for example, stores or heifers. The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) is not empowered to pay compensation for losses which you suffer because you have to change the way you manage your farm or because your Restricted Herd Test (RHT) or Tuberculosis (TB) herd test, has gone past the due-by date as described in ‘Movement restrictions due to Tuberculosis’, and ‘Can I sell animals for slaughter or to other herds?’. These losses may be covered under your farm insurance policy. If you believe that movement restrictions may cause animal welfare problems, you may wish to discuss with your Veterinary Officer (VO).
