Written Answers. - Breeding Bulls.
The prohibition on the movement of bulls for breeding purposes was lifted on 2 May last. The arrangements currently in place for the movement of bulls for breeding purposes apply equally to all cattle, viz., a permit is required for farm-to-farm sales and there must be a 30 day break between each sale.
