Katy braved the wind and rain to complete a good health status check on this farm. All youngstock were blood sampled for exposure to BVD, the bulling heifers had their pelvises measured to assess suitability for breeding, and the cows were blood sampled to check their mineral status.

Did you know that BVD testing is available through the Animal Health and Welfare Pathway?

Give us a call on 01208 76403 if you'd like to discuss any of the above with one of our vets.

Today is World Farmers Day! It may feel like a thankless role at times, but we would like to thank our clients and all farmers out there for everything that you do. To help celebrate the industry, we've posted some photos of our own team members in action on their farms.

Is the main man of your herd performing as he should? A sub-fertile bull can be costly, leaving cows empty, a longer calving period, and a varying age of youngstock. Fertility testing can determine the bulls health and also aid in a more profitable sale if you're thinking of moving him on.

Call the office on 01208 76403 to discuss the benefits of bull fertility testing.
