Please note that every farm business is different and there are a range of factors that could affect the time taken to complete secondary C&D and restocking.
Option 2 can be the most appropriate option for seasonal businesses.
Following effective C&D, which will be confirmed by your case officer/veterinary inspector through testing, you will be required to wait for a minimum of 3 months and 21 days before restrictions are lifted.
