***MEETING SAVE THE DATE 25th February***
We know that the "whole farm plan" that is being introduced by Scottish Government in May 2025 is confusing and a source of concern for many of our clients so we have arranged a short meeting to hopefully help us understand the requirements and how to achieve them!

Many of you may already know Charlotte Pumphrey (formerly Charlotte Holland, SAC consulting) and we are lucky to have her coming along to explain the scheme to us. Charlotte is great at presenting a straightforward and practical approach and will be happy to help answer as many of our questions as possible.

Everyone is very welcome to come along on the 25th February, Tain Scout Hut @ 7pm. Please invite anyone who may not see social media posts and might find it useful or interesting! To give us an idea of numbers for refreshments please let us know if you plan to come along.

As weaning and housing time approaches it is a good time to think about assessing calves pneumonia risk. We can help you evaluate the risks for your individual farm and discuss the most suitable vaccination and management strategies. Feel free to give us a call for a chat.

Now that the colder weather is bringing an end to the fly season it is a good time to get any dehorning or castrations booked in before calves get any older 😄.
