A MEETING to discuss the Welsh Government’s revised bovine tuberculosis (TB) eradication strategy will be held in Monmouthshire next month.

Farmers from the county are being invited to the NFU Cymru meeting at the Three Salmons Hotel in Usk on Monday, July 10 from 7.30pm.

From the start of October, areas in Wales are to be placed in one of three categories based on cases of bovine TB.

The meeting has been described as giving farmers “an ideal time” to discuss the changes outlined for cattle keepers in the county

Dylan Morgan, NFU Cymru’s head of policy, will be present to outline the next steps for bovine TB in Wales and offer a question and answer session.

Ian Williams, Monmouthshire NFU Cymru county chairman, said: “We are very grateful to Dylan Morgan for agreeing to present to members in Monmouthshire.

“I would encourage all farmers in the area to come along to learn exactly what the new measures will mean for their farming business, especially as Monmouthshire now comes under the new High TB Area.

“I would like to remind everyone that this meeting is open to all NFU Cymru members but it is also a great opportunity for non-members to come along and see the work NFU Cymru does.”
