Breeding and store markets will be able to resume in Scotland from Thursday next week (October 4th), subject to no further adverse developments in the FMD outbreak and completion of tracings.
Richard Lochhead, Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and the Environment, said:
"Prime sale markets for slaughter can already resume from midnight on Sunday but this further relaxation will give our farmers and the livestock industry a much needed boost."
