Q: Can you give us the details on the Dutch NVWA plan to enforce feeding rules on calf transport?
The NVWA intends to impose administrative orders with penalties on four Irish transport operators for failing to feed calves during the sea voyage and subsequent road transport, with a one-year adjustment period and penalties starting at 3,000 euros per violation and potentially rising to 27,000 euros for subsequent violations.

Q: What is the latest on beef prices and how is the market shaping up for store cattle?
