This ewe had 'ringwomb' - her cervix hadn't fully dilated during lambing. A c-section by vet Ben at the practice ensured we could deliver two healthy lambs. #lambingseason #sheep #farmvet

Regular mobility scoring and preventative foot trimming are a vital part of any herd health plan. Foot trimming is a cost-effective solution for most herds and if done correctly, can reduce not only lameness, it can improve a cows' grip on concrete, reducing falls and injury.
Talk to your vet about our professional foot trimming services, or call the Farm Desk on 01765 602397 to arrange a visit from our experienced, qualified foot trimmers, who can carry out trims using our hydraulic squeeze crush, allowing for a less stressful experience for the cow.
This is Alan. Like all goats, Alan is a bit dramatic.
This week, Alan has escaped twice, spent a night sleeping under a random bush, eaten several shrubs including a rhododendron and very nearly died. Luckily his mum is a farm vet and so despite his best efforts, he is now safely enjoying a carrot whilst plotting his next adventure.

The Bishopton team had a great day at #stwilfridsparade on Saturday in #ripon. A massive thank you to all the people involved in organising it and to the volunteers that made it happen. Well done also to the winning float, Not All Heroes Wear Capes. We were delighted to come second and are already planning for next year. #competitive #fancydress ๐๐ฅ๐ฅธ

Iron your white coats - and we'll see you there!!
Bit of a bloody one today, so the squeamish should look away now. A very happy ending though with mother and calf well. Nice one, chaps. #caesarean #farmvets #farm

This cow was unable to deliver her calf due to a twisted uterus, with the calf still inside, also known as a uterine torsion.
Vet Laura used a piece of equipment called a 'Gyn Stick' to gently untwist the uterus, which enabled the delivery a healthy heifer calf! ๐
