If you need your coat, the calves need theirs - Calves divert energy from growth to keeping warm when temperatures drop to below 10 degrees C for more than 3 hours a day. It’s definitely time for calf jackets, increasing energy intake and extra bedding.

There was lots of good chat, debate and laughter at our Sheep Club meeting last night. Huge thank you to Charlotte and Belinda from Lancashire Police Rural Task Force for a very informative talk, enlightening us on our rights with sheep worrying and other rural crime. Rebekah then hosted a quiz which highlighted best practice when using Scabigard.

Thanks to Liz Clarke for supper 🥧 and thank you to Rob from Zoetis for kindly sponsoring.
