He said: “There are some organised gangs working in the North West who use the motor­ way network to get the cattle away as quickly as possible. We are trying to combat the problem by building up a network of information about suspi­ cious vehicles, such as livestock trailers. We also support the introduction of a Farm Watch scheme, along similar lines to the Neighbourhood Watch, where farmers keep an eye on their neighbour’s cattle and on what is going
