‘Silence of the Lambs’ is Brexit fear for UK sheep farmers

Sheep farmers in the UK have appealed for a plan to ensure sheep farming and sheepmeat supply chain businesses do not go under, due to exiting the EU without a deal on October 31.

National Sheep Association Chief Executive Phil Stocker said: “NSA has repeatedly called for a no-deal or disorderly Brexit to be avoided at all costs, and we are hugely alarmed by the rhetoric of Boris Johnson and his new cabinet in recent days, even though this may be part of a negotiating tactic.
