Retailer reveals new EID initiative at show

After a miserable, wet day on Thursday, followed by a night of torrential rain, the car parks at the Highland Show were waterlogged yesterday morning.

A heavy thunderous downpour in the afternoon left many wondering if the car parks could cope with the extra vehicles expected this weekend.

Retailer Morrisons announced at the show that it is trialling prototype technology in its Aberdeenshire meat plant that will enable Scottish farmers to become the first in the world to receive detailed quality performance data on every sheep via the animals' electronic identification (EID) ear tags.
