Always so impressed with the Hampton estate team and their organisation and the amazing turn out. Well done all involved.
A reminder from Elanco for those dairies that use Kexxtone boluses in their dry cows…
Remember this girl? Cows are amazing!

Joint ill in lambs…
Well it’s that’s time of year that we are all ramping up for lambing and getting the lambing sheds prepped…
What are your safe guards against lambs developing joint ill?
The most common cause of joint ill in lambs is a bacteria called Strep dysgalactiae, this is a bug that lives in the vaginal tract of ewes… this is how it is so easily spread to lambs, especially if ungloved hands are used to lamb a ewe and another lamb is then touched.
Umbilical hygiene is key to stop those swollen joints occurring but did you know the bacteria can also live on dusty shelves so make sure those castration bands and ear taggers are clean and dust free before using them.
What are your top tips to preventing this condition?
⚠️ Warning ⚠️ 2nd picture not for the faint hearted!
This girl let her greed get the better of her when her silage was being delivered by shear grab 😬 She managed to ‘deface’ herself down to her nasal cavity.
The quick thinking farmer stemmed the bleeding and kept it clean straight away until we arrived to piece her back together.
First picture 1 week after repair, 2nd picture the injury, 3rd picture immediately post repair.
Cows are amazing! She’s kept her calf at foot the whole time and continued to eat well even though there was also injury to her lips. 🤞 she continues on her road to recovery.
Have you seen our January newsletter…

Tail end lipoma… looked more like a weapon and getting heavier! Removed under epidural and cow now able to lift her tail more easily and it won’t get caught.

Well the only way I get invited to a Young Farmers meeting in my forties is to speak at it!
What a wonderfully dedicated, enthusiastic and professional bunch the Hampshire young farmers are.
A society you should be proud of.
Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you about farm vetting and women in dairy alongside LEAF and Hampshire countryside services.

Sound on! ☔️💧🌧 A great meeting from AHDB today on calf weaning management. Thank you to the hosts at Middle farm, Cheriton & for the presentation from Chris Coxon. Only one distraction from the presentation and that was heavy rain! Wahoo! #tlp #farmvets #ahdb #middlefarm #calfweaning #dairy #rain
🐄Basics of dairy cow fertility… 🐄Tuesday 19th October 10- 12pm at the office… 🐄I am running a meeting on the 19th for more junior or less experienced team members on the basics of dairy cow fertility. These team members are often expected to get involved in fertility on farm – a bit of bull spotting, helping out at routines – and knowing what a submission rate is or what the vet is talking about when there is a CL or what it means when a cow is bulling can help piece together the understanding of fertility, sparking more interest in the job and potentially improving performance. It will be held at the office, tea and cake will be available and cost is £75/farm. Please email [email protected] if you are interested or have any further questions… #tlp #farmvets #imvimaging #dairycowfertility
