101 stanley BlackAre we going to let crofting decline in Scotland the way we let our fishing fleets disapear. We want to have sottish breed beef on our plate in years to come

103 Philip GilmourThis measure is a penny pinching and ultimately very damaging exercise. It reflects a lack of understanding of the fragility of crofting in H&I. Longer term impact will be to harm incomes and sustainability of H&I livliehoods costing the tax payer more - not less.
104 Christine GilmourThe SNP are damaging a way of life to make short term savings. The longer term financial costs will be much higher in addition to the further eradication of a valuable part of Scottish life. Crofters existence is already precarious and this measure ensures that these pressures are increased. Shame on the SNP.

109 Joyce WilkinsonLosing the bullscheme will heap another disadvantage onto the struggle to keep active Crofting alive. Cattle numbers will decrease dramatically from the Highlands and Islands.

138 Colin MacDonaldAs grazing clerk for an active township we feel that the Bull Hire Scheme is essential and will retain cattle numbers in the West Highlands and Islands. Without it the cattle will go and within a few years incentives will be offered to bring the cattle back. This will be expensive. Invest now by retaining the Bull Hire Scheme.
139 Ian G. MacdonaldThe Bull Scheme is very important in retaining cattle on croft land in Scotland. It is vital that we stop the loss of farm animals from our hills. This country may soon be crying out for freerange quality food and it will be almost impossible to reverse the situation if crofters lose heart.
140 Duncan FraserI have just got my first cows on the croft and had been banking on being able to use the Bull Hire Scheme, If it is disbanded can you sujest what my options are as i would not be viaible for me to get a bull

142 Bob PratleyI think that the government should REALLY examine their motivation for removing the bull hire scheme, they should LISTEN to the real keepers of a very special way of life, and UNDERSTAND that this way of life will disappear forever if not supported. remember CROFTING - LIFE, FOR ALL THE FAMILY!
143 Brian SmithIs this yet another attempt to make it impossible for rural communities to flourish ? Profit margins are wafer thin or do not even exist. Making Crofters buy a bull to grow calves will see the end of beef production on crofts, and the end of some of the best beef on this planet. Keep the bull scheme, keep crofting alive, keep the Highlands and Islands populated by working people not just seasonal visitors.
144 Kirsty MacLeodThe decision to end the bull hire scheme is yet another discriminatory measure against crofters.
145 Campbell MacLeod
146 Donald MurdieThe ignorance and prejudice of Edinburgh-based civil servants must not be allowed to destroy something of real value. "A price on everything and a value on nothing."
