Poor cows
The Government will attempt to eradicate the Mycoplasma bovis cattle disease and will foot the bill for almost 70% of $900 million the process is expected to cost.
No country which that has dealt with the disease – which is everywhere but Norway – has ever successfully eradicated it.
Estimates put the number of cattle that will need to be culled at almost 130,000 – that’s on top of the 26,000 that have been culled so far.

They'd better be right about eradication being possible. If this is based on poor information the rural community will (quite rightly) be furious.

Meh....I am tired of the big-agri mentality here in NZ. Happy to keep the money when everything is going right, take no responsibility for the environment and start crying for compensation when things don't work out for them (droughts and now M.B.).
156,000 less cows is a good start.

The woman crying on tv over pregnant cows being culled made laugh
cows are induced and calves aborted to keep them milking all the time, or is that somehow different
