Poland | Bodzentyn | Cattle market

Today our team counts about 500-600 animals (a lot of bulls and calves). Most of animalsseem to be in good general condition. Most of traders still refuse to use halters. Team observes few emaciated cows with overgrown hooves, few non-milked cows and one with huge swollen udder. Due to the strict enforcement of the authorities all traders presented at the market load animals only on one deck in the swanneck, so that the animals have enough headspace. The atmosphere is calm, probably as a consequence of last weeks’ big inspection of vet inspection and Road Police (ITD). Our teams had trained ITD inspectors on Regulation 1/2005. As usual, the trader Ogonek leaves 44 animals at the market. All infringements will be reported to Vet Inspection.
