On the evening of 18 March, we paid an unannounced visit to assembly centre De Skieding in Houtigehage (NL). At the time, unweaned calves were being collected. The owner spoke with us in a friendly manner but preferred to take some time to consider allowing us access to his assembly centre. We fully understand this, as the company is not yet familiar with our organisation.
We hope the owner will get in touch in the near future to arrange a physical visit. If we do not hear back, we will follow up ourselves at a later stage.
