🐄 Embryo calf 🐄

Our Vet Erin needed to assist this heifer with her calf🩺 This heifer had been calving for 45minutes and was not progressing therefore a caesarian operation was carried out 💉
Within minutes of this huge bull calf coming out, he was already trying to stand up

This newly mum was sent home with antibiotics to help reduce the risk of infection and pain relief to help control the pain after this major operation

Time to make a teaser at Parklands.

Did you know that there are many benefits of a teaser. Teasers can help to tighten the lambing period, encourage ewes to come into season a week or 2 earlier than they may otherwise have and is ideal for getting first time ewes to start cycling ready for tupping. It can also help boost scanning percentages in some cases.

What ram to choose to make into a teaser? A ram lamb, ideally 8-9 months old. Any breed is perfectly acceptable however, if you are planning on lambing early (out of season) then an early breeding breed such as Dorset, etc. is preferred. They can be used as a ram lamb however a shearling ram will have a higher libido.

Once you have your teaser made simply wait 4-6 weeks before placing them in with the ewes for 14 days before removing and putting your tups in.

Call in and book a slot to get yourself a teaser made at Parklands.

Last week Eamon had another successful turnout to his AI course, which consisted of both theory and practical.

Our AI courses are run multiple times throughout the year to allow flexibility and to accommodate the demand of farmers wanting to learn these techniques.

If you wish to enquire for anymore information regarding this course, please contact your local branch.

Pictured is their final practical training in Cookstown.

🐑Sheep Worrying Awareness 🐑

Lambing season can be a stressful time for both the shepherds and the sheep 😟
Dogs without a lead can cause serious injury or death to pregnant ewes and lambs 🤕 They can stress out sheep by attacking and chasing them 🤕 Responsible dog owners can have a massive impact on sheep and lambs, by keeping your dog on a lead while walking near fields with livestock🐕 This will show respect to the farmer and their livestock 🐑🐄

We would like to thank all our clients who took the time to attend our sheep meeting in the Glenavon Cookstown last night and we appreciate the large turnout.

Special thanks goes to our guest speakers:

Elenor Brady from MSD - Vaccination update
Des Cronin from Inform Nutrition- Mineral overview in the eyes of the sheep sector.
Rosie Owens from Parklands Dungannon - Johnes update

Who gave our clients plenty of knowledge about the importance of vaccinations and mineral supplements in the run up to the lambing period. Along with common diseases and ways to help progress your farm through digital software. Our audience were not short of questions and the speakers were more than happy to give our farmers plenty of feedback.

⭐️We would like to highlight this meeting will be held again for flock owners in the North West as the speakers visit the Belfry , The Cross on Thursday 29th February.⭐️

Thanks again for all the continued support. 🫶
