Auctions keep pretty good records of all transactions so it will be
a case of the SVS etc following up on all these individual
transactions. Hopefully there were not too many private deals done
outwith the auction setup.
Hopefully this auction company keep really good records of even wee
birds, on a busy day.
Hopefully the location of the original infection - ie where the
infected birds came from in the first place - is not one of the
larger units in the likely vicinity.
how many people just pay cash at these auctions, cheque or credit
card would at least mean that purchasers could be traced, even if you
weren't too sure of what they purchased
That maybe you, or Charles, can help with?
Certainly from our observations here with the shop in the past few years,
and especially this year, fewer and fewer or the general population carry
cash at all and even fewer use cheques.
As the poultry is more to the "general" population, including
smallholders, than the farming population, the latter being more used to
the cash economy, its probable that a good proportion of transactions were
card based. However it also depnds on how the markets themselves influence
the exchange. Some places still prefer cash or cheques and simply have
little in the way of card facilities. ???
too large for cash, and most is done on account with bills sent out to be
paid by the end of the month
I suspect that this isn't the model a lot of these poultry marts follow,
even if the same firm uses it for cattle and sheep
