Westmorland Fallen Stock Collection

Farmers in Westmorland are held responsible for the disposal of their own fallen stock by law. On-farm burial has been banned in Westmorland since 2003 to protect human health and animal health. Article 21 of the EU Control Regulations states that Westmorland fallen stock must be collected, identified and transported without any ‘undue delay’. This means Westmorland fallen stock collection must be dealt with as soon as is reasonable and that is where our Westmorland Farm Stock Collection service comes in.
