Let’s try again

Almost all of our EXPORTS are to the EU

Much of what we export would never be saleable in the UK as it is not to our tastes

Without exporting those elements of the sheep, each individual sheep would no longer be financially viable.

Animals tend to be full of stuff

I am guessing offal, brains, p****es, testicles, skin, feet, tails and multiple wibbly bits.

This was not discussed in the lecture.

Animals tend to be full of stuff

I am guessing offal, brains, pe*nises, testicles, skin, feet, tails, tongues and multiple wibbly bits.

Importantly they prefer different cuts of meat that would not sell for a good price in the uk.

So when you said "If there is a no deal Brexit, sheep and beef farming will immediately become untenable, especially sheep", the evidence is a bit thin.

Can you read?

Support drops by 75% in an industry dependent on it

And 97% of exports cease overnight

How is that thin evidence?

A further point is that the cost of labour will go up and the seasonal workers upon which farming relies may no longer be able to come from abroad.

But of course analysis and expertise count for nothing over self confidence.
