Some fantastic suggestions here folks but one person guessed correctly! We are pretty sure this was piece of the cows pedal bone that had fractured off within the hoof capsule and migrated to the white line where it was removed by Ourselves… it looks very like it and definitely bone! Surely a bit of relief and should heal Nicely… likely causes of something like this could be worn slats or a bulling injury. Well done to Emma for guessing correctly- we will think of a suitable prize and come back to
You!! Perhaps a golden hoof knife 😉 🏆

🌹 Treat your loved one to a bull pre-breeding fertility exam this Valentine’s Day…. 🥰

We have done a lot of pre-sale bulls but thoughts now turn to your stock bulls and making sure they are fit for breeding!

Getting bulls examined and fertility tested is a relatively quick and simple procedure that includes semen analysis for peace of mind that your bull is fit and ready for the job in hand! 🔬

This procedure has become routine for many of our suckler herds and reduces the risk of a poor scan later in the year! Many bulls are now sold fertility tested which also gives the buyer and seller confidence in their purchase.

Give our Keith Surgery a ring to discuss your bull fertility requirements… 🌹 💘

Apologies for any inconvenience!

We are now seeing an increasing number of cases of Nematodirus in lambs. Some cases have been fatal in the last week and others are showing over 900 eggs per gram on FWECs. The warmer weather has caused a mass hatch, with Scotland being high risk in early June for outbreaks.

Recommended actions -

🔺 Shift high risk lambs to low risk grazing (not grazed by lambs last year)

🔺 Use a white drench wormer to treat for Nematodirus and test 7-10 days post drench to ensure treatment has been effective.

Thanks for all the interest in the foot trimming and AI courses. Unfortunately due to a very busy spring workload at the practice we have not had a Chance to get these courses going. High cull cow values have encouraged those to cash in also!

As a result we will run some courses following spring calving PDs in October so we will have some cull cows to practice on.

If anyone thinks they would have 10-12 cull cows and be prepared to host a course either for AI or foot trimming through the summer we would love to hear from you.... the course would be free for the host farm!

Summer and earlier Autumn will leave some free vets to get going with this!!

Thanks for all your interest to date! 🐂

🔬USE FAECAL WORM EGG COUNTS THIS SPRING/SUMMER🔬

SCOPS are currently recommending ‘test not guess’ to help control worm burdens this season. To not move treated lambs straight onto 'clean' grazing and to also carry out a FWEC post drenching to check that your wormer has worked.

We offer in-house faecal worm egg counts, aiming to provide quick results to ensure accurate and effective treatment can be carried out. This can be done for sheep, cattle and horses!
