Our charity farmers skittles evenings got off to a brilliant start last night with our first event at The Golden Swan Wilcot.

We had a great turnout so a huge thank you to all that came along. It was nice to see everyone catching up and sharing a few laughs with friends and neighbours over a pint & food whilst enjoying a game of skittles while others were meeting fellow farmers for the first time.

There must be something in the air at Broomsgrove as the winner of the skittles was Paul 🥇and one of the runner up places 🥈went to Felix from the same farm both seen receiving their prizes from Rosie our lead vet tech. There was a tie for the reserve spot 🥈with Paul from Rothschild - your prize is on its way this morning so we haven’t forgotten you👍.

We held a raffle on the evening in aid of FCN & The DPJ Foundation and due to our clients overwhelming generosity we raised £338 on the night 🎉🥳which will go towards the wonderful work of both charities. A huge thank you 💕.

Thanks go to Zoetis for their generous sponsorship towards the evening plus a huge thank you to everyone else who kindly donated raffle prizes❤️

Our thanks also go to Dave & the team from The Golden Swan for their hospitality on the evening.

See you Thursday 16th October for our next evening at Horton Social Club.

💜World Mental Health Day is a great opportunity for us to come together to talk about mental health and how much it matters.💜

Talking is good for your mental health. And talking about mental health is important. But starting a conversation isn’t always easy. Whether you’d like to talk to someone about how you’re feeling, or check-in with someone you care about, here are some tips that can help.

When talking about your mental health:
-choose someone you trust to talk to
-think about the best place to talk
-prepare yourself for their reaction

Talking to someone about their mental health:
-find somewhere to talk without distraction
-listen & ask questions
-ask how you can help

The important thing is remembering ‘it is ok to not be ok’ & that there is always someone willing to listen whatever the problem ❤️

As part of GB calf week our very own Kat Hart presented the Wiltshire meeting on smooth weaning and transitioning to success. This was by kind permission of the Ryall Family at Woodhill Farm.

The aim of the meeting was to discuss challenges, goals, hints & tips with time for
discussion.

❓ Did you know ❓ Calves need to be consuming around 3kg of cake at weaning and drinking 3 litres of water per kg of food per day.

Kat’s important take home tips were:
- Milk nutrition - step up over 4 weeks and mustn’t over feed.
- Step down - need clear steps to push them to eat concentrate.
- Housing - they need space & pay attention to social groups when mixing.
- Health prevention - pneumonia / coccidiosis are key ones to be aware of.
- Stockmanship - attention to detail.

The Calf Company housing was installed by Treena & Ian. This is fully enclosed at the back due to farm weather conditions and wind direction. Hannah who attended the meeting has had her calf company housing for 3 years, she doesn’t vaccinate and has no real cases of pneumonia. Calves go straight in the housing from birth and can take around 7 calves.

All in all a great day of calf discussion and a little bit of housing envy!

🐮🐮🐮We had a great calf rearers farm walk & discussion on Wednesday with Zoe.

It was nice to see some of our dairy farmers there as well as those calf rearing as it gave both sides of the discussion regarding colostrum management when calves are born and the impact this has going forward.

Ventilation was discussed and this included Zoe doing a smoke bomb demonstration in the main building and in the igloos.

If you have any questions about calf health on your farm then Zoe, our Lead Youngstock Vet will be happy to help.

We would like to thank the Gainey family for kindly hosting us.

Today is Back British Farming Day and this year is the 10th anniversary - an annual event celebrating the food and farming sector. And an opportunity to show support for our farmers and growers, and the work they do 365 days a year to feed the nation and care for our iconic countryside.

All of us at The George Farm Vets are proud to support our British farmers today , tomorrow and in the future so let’s get behind them all not just on Back British Farming Day but every day.

Some fun facts for today!
🧀More than 700 different types of cheese are produced in the UK.
🥚On average, we eat 192 eggs per person, per year. That's enough to make 1,152 fairy cakes!
🚜Famers manage 71% of the nation's landscapes.
🍞In 2023, British farmers produced enough milling wheat to make 6.5 billion loaves of bread.
🌿The UK produces 2 billion portions of frozen peas each year. and, most make it through to the factory and through the freezing process in under 2.5 hours.
