The Ministry of Agriculture requests the removal of all livestock from the Grand Bras Estate.
Farmers who make use of the Grand Bras Estate for tethering of livestock, are asked to seek alternative locations on or before Wednesday, 9 June 2021.
The Ministry of Agriculture is in the process of revitalising the estate as part of efforts to enhance food security, and is soliciting the full support of farmers in ensuring that the area is cleared of all livestock.
Farmers are advised that failure to do so would violate the Stock Trespass Act, Sections 3 and 4, which gives authority to impound trespassing animals.
All farmers are urged to be guided accordingly!

What alternative have you offered them for the livestock to graze? How do claim to be supporting farmers and not recognize livestock farmers as part of the process?? Farming isn’t just root crops ir fruit trees. Show some respect.
What a silly comment. How about some respect for public or private property? I rent a property in St. Andrews and one of the neighbors thinks because he is distantly related to the land lord, (second or third cousin) he has the right to harvest fruit. Who’s paying the rent me or him?
It’s no secret Grand Bras is a working farm for growing provisions. If the farmers around Grand Bras are grazing livestock without permission they should expect to bear the consequence of that choice. If they are grazing livestock with permission but have no land of their own, they should expect to bear the consequence. Taking personal responsibility is common sense, but I guess that’s not so common anymore.
