Avian flu, Billy goat meat, Brexit imports and exports

A future change in bird flu restrictions, Billy goat meat production, and Brexit fruit and vegetable imports and exports.

The rules put in place because of the bird flu outbreak are changing at the end of the month and we assess the impact on two neighbouring farms, one will return to free range the other's birds remain cooped up. Demand for goats milk and cheese is growing here in the UK, but what to do with the unwanted Billy goats? Farming Today reports from a farm raising them for meat. And a farmer who produces 3m head of lettuce a week explains how he will deal with the demands of exporting and importing his produce post Brexit.
