| EID Flexibilities explained to Glamorgan Farmers |
|
The new rules for the compulsory electronic tagging of sheep were recently explained to NFU Cymru members in Glamorgan in a packed meeting held in Cornelly.
 Richard Isaac, NFU Cymru County Chairman said, "Whilst we all dreaded this regulation, there are flexibilities within it which have made things for most farmers far easier. As a result of successful NFU Cymru lobbying there is a choice of tagging options for lambs born after 31 December 2009 and the approval of central point recording will mean that reading equipment may not have to be purchased by all farmers."  NFU Cymru believes that there will be a significant number of producers who will wish to take advantage of the slaughter derogation, i.e. producers who move lambs, under 12 months of age, either direct from the farm to slaughter or via livestock market direct to slaughter. The slaughter derogation has allowed these producers to move their slaughter lambs under the least cost and least regulatory option.  |

| Fancy a bit of star spotting in the Brecon Beacons? |
|
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered if you could get a closer view? Well now's your perfect chance. On Saturday 20th March, Brecon Beacons National Park Authority plans to make the most of the remaining dark skylines by hosting its first public star gazing event for 2010 at the National Park Visitor Centre, near Libanus.
 Stars, nebulae, galaxies, clusters, and even a few planets will be at your fingertips when the National Park Visitor Centre is briefly transformed into a mini-observatory on Saturday 20th March. The event will offer keen star gazers a wonderful opportunity to view the night sky, see demonstration models, actual telescopes plus learn about star gazing equipment and astronomy from the Cardiff Astronomical Society. The event runs from 7.00pm until 9.30pm - and due to overwhelming demand booking is essential.  |
