Kivells notice to Store Cattle Vendors

It has come to our attention in recent months that a large number of in calf Store Heifers are being

reported, and because of this the vendors are having to pay large vet bills and cost of losses to the purchaser. In previous years we have found that vendors who have scanned their Heifers empty at the

time of their TB test, have had a stronger trade on the day, and that has covered their cost of scanning, based on this although it’s voluntary and not compulsoray to scan your Heifers, we would highly

recommend it. On talking to purchasers they would be more than happy to give a little extra with the guarantee of empty Heifers.
