IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO FARMERS – CHANGES TO FALLEN STOCK COLLECTIONS OF OVER 24 MONTHS CATTLE
- The fallen stock survey which collected over 24 months cattle free of charge will cease to operate from January 12th 2009.
- After January 1st 2009 for 24-48 months and January 12th 2009 for over 48 months cattle the farmer will be responsible for all collection and disposal costs.
- Animals over 48 months will continue to be brain tested. The cost of this testing only will continue to be paid by the government. We are currently seeking approval to do this testing at our site.
- From the above dates we shall be able to collect all fallen stock from any of our traditional collection areas. No helplines to phone, just ring us direct.
- Please contact us near to the start date for current prices or consult your NFSCo. price list.
- Members of NFSCo. will be eligible for an initial 20% subsidy off the cost of collection of over 48 months cattle only. Membership of NFSCo. is now free of charge with just a monthly service charge of £1.25 per month only if you have used the service in that calendar month.
- If you are not already a member we strongly encourage you to do so to take advantage of this benefit whilst it is available. Contact the NFSCo. helpline on 08450-548888 for further details.
- We look forward to welcoming all customers old and new from Staffordshire and surrounding counties into 2009 and look forward to offering the prompt and humane service that we have always prided ourselves on.
