NSA urges Welsh Government to retract damaging bluetongue ruling
20th June 2025
NSA has this week written a letter to Welsh Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs, Huw Irranca Davies urging Welsh Government to change its decision not to join England as one bluetongue (BTV) Restricted Zone (RZ) from Tuesday 1st July 2025.
The decision that was announced last week, NSA believes will have a damaging impact not only on livestock producers and markets in the Welsh borders area – of which there are more than 550, but also on farmers selling and buying from major breeding sales.
The letter is available to read on the right of this page.
