I'm away from home at the moment
But we've had the same disease with the lambs. We're lambing at the moment and apparently getting about 20-25% deformed. Not great. Hoping it won't affect the cows too!
I only live on a small holding which is my dads hobby when he's not at his full time job as an engineer.
We only have livestock too so no crops to worry about, but pretty sure we don't have enough silage this year and going to have to try and buy some again!
We wanted to make it into hay but didnt work out with the weather!
And yeah I agree the food industry is f*cked with the massive supermarkets screwing the prices. But I don't think it's going to get any better as people have now got used to the cheap food!
