Gisborne Beef and sheep farmers fear they’ll have paddocks full of starving animals this winter, because there’s no safe way to get them off the paddocks or to the meatworks.

It takes so long by road to get to the usual plant in Hawke’s Bay at the moment, that it would breach the animal welfare code driving there.
