Sir, While completely agreeing with Eamon O Broin's sane and sensible suggestion (September 18th) that farmers desist from putting their cows in calf instead of slaughtering them at six weeks old, I am left wondering if we are now into the business of set aside" cows, and whether or not the progression from here will result in set aside farmers.
Yours, etc., Kilminchy, Portlaoise, Co Laois.
