๐Ÿ„ Foot Care Course ๐Ÿ„
Our foot care course was very successful this week and we have had some brilliant feedback from the participants. Run over two days, the course consisted of the Dutch five step, causes of lameness and how to treat them. Participants also got the opportunity for plenty of practical work and putting their theory into practice.
Here is what the participants had to say:
๐Ÿ„ "The course was very helpful and had great explanations"
๐Ÿ„ "Well organised course, great ratio of practical to theory"
๐Ÿ„ "I feel confident to go and get started on foot trimming on the farm"
๐Ÿ„ "Good explanations throughout and always answered any questions I had"
๐Ÿ„ "Looking forward to going home and getting some numbers under my belt!"

If you would be interested in doing one of our foot care courses please give the office a call on 01995 602468 or email us at [email protected]!

๐Ÿ„ Dog safety around livestock ๐Ÿ„
As the weather tries to improve, public walkways become much busier which means more dogs around livestock.
If you are going walking, please be aware of your surroundings and always keep your dog on a lead around livestock.
Cows and sheep can be easily spooked by dogs and dogs are also capable of transmitting Neospora which can lead to abortion in cows. Keeping dogs on leads means everyone can enjoy the countryside safely. ๐Ÿ„๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ‘

Now the dust has settled from lambing, it is a good time to reflect on how it went. The biggest factor in lamb survival is colostrum - that's why keeping our ewes in perfect condition is so important. In this flock we're testing for any trace element shortages as that will hamper their ability to recover and be ready for the summer ahead. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฑ

Goodbye to our Anna! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ„
Today is Anna's last day at Lanes after completing her year in industry with us for her Animal Science and Production degree at Harper Adams!
Anna plans on spending the summer showing her Highland cow, Bonnie, at multiple agricultural shows including Royal Welsh and Garstang before returning back to university in September. She also hopes to go to vet school in 2025 after she has finished her degree so hopefully we will see her for plenty of placements!
We would like to thank Anna for her continued hard work over the last year and wish her all the luck in the world!

It's mental health awareness week! If you are feeling a certain way about the recent challenges farmers have all had to face please don't think you are alone, you are not alone. We are always here for a chat and a brew at the office any time, any day! Visit us at the office or visit Brockholes Arms Auction Mart on sale days and see the fabulous hub it is becoming and talking to likeminded farmers. RABI are also always on the end of the phone on 01865 724931.

SHARE THE LOAD ๐Ÿค

We've all had a tough spring, with relentless weather making lambing, calving and getting crops in the ground extremely difficult.

You're not alone. We are all feeling it, but we are all in this together. Taking the time to share the load, talk with friends, peers and colleagues can make a world of difference.

Get to your local market, there is a wonderful hub of people there every week, plus help and support from farming charities such as RABI and FCN, to name a few.

The live auction ring is not just a place of sale, but a crucial social hub in challenging times.

Nematodirus Risk!

The recent weather has meant the the Nematodirus risk is now extremely high and hatching is imminent! The eggs have had chance to fully develop and hatch which means lambs grazing high risk pastures are now at risk of disease. Disease occurs 1-2 weeks after peak hatch.
Contact the office to discuss worming protocols for at risk lambs!

It's fly time!
Now is the time for ordering and implementing parasitic wasps.
Parasitic wasps are a natural fly control that eat the annoying fly eggs - so they are gone before you even know they are there! We also have predator flies that are great around slats and will go hunting for the flies that keep your cows swishing.
Nuisance flies can stop cows from doing what we want - eating, resting and chilling! This disruption can lead to milk drop, lameness and an unhappy herd! Call the office and speak to Seth for more information ๐Ÿชฐ

Calf knock down disbudding and castrating!
This method of disbudding is less stressful for the calves and results in less cortisol being released. It is a very quick way of disbudding large numbers of calves at the same time and requires at least one vet and one vet tech as the calves must be sedated by a vet. Castrating is also available whilst the calves are sedated if required. Knock down's are priced per calf (inclusive of drugs) and prices start from ยฃ7/calf. Call Helen at the office for more information! ๐Ÿฎ
