137 Deputy Seymour Crawford asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when she will allow farmers to sell cattle over 30 months without having to go through a BSE test and pay for it; her views on the fact that factories use the 30 month system to downgrade the price of perfectly good cattle over the 30 month age thus creating a double loss to the farmer and in some cases, particularly in the autumn months, short term glut of cattle to the factory with even some of these cattle being of an unfinished nature; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
