@Michaelfagwrfra@WGRural@pembsproject Proud to help farmers and vets understand my RiskRate data. Looking forward to the next steps. Good to have support from CVO and CabSec. bTB is beatable and we can do it given CabSec/CVO support and changes to Policies which are holding back!. @AbiReader

The new Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs, Huw Irranca-Davies, was keen to listen and learn this week when he visited farms in Mid and South West Wales and discussed a range of issues with local farmers. 🎥👇
So as explained in Mondays tweet, used Risk Rate to highlight risky cows and started off with 9 red cows (high risk) and 12 Amber (mod risk) after January test (which was technically 'clear'). So we started culling cows off these lists.
Pre this weeks test 5 red/10 amber
