On Wednesday we were asked to attend one of our local farms to assist Derbyshire Fire and Resuce Service rescue a heifer. Whilst being moved to a different part of the farm, she had managed to fall through a small hole, into a slurry chamber. Shrea and Dan went to the farm, and after a chat with the fire crews is was decided the best plan of action would be to sedate her to try and minimise the risk of her thrashing when being lifted out. Luckily she was a very well behaved girl, and after sleeping off the sedation she is no worse for wear. The last photo was taken yesterday, 24 hours after the ordeal. Slurry stores can be extremely dangerous, so if you ever find yourself in this situation please call the Emergency Services 🚒🐄

This lambing season has not been the easiest, with rain ☔️, hail, mud and unfortunately a large amount of Schmallenberg Virus reported. We would be grateful if our clients who have lambed any sheep 🐑 this year would fill in this survey. Surveys like this help collect and collate data to try and safeguard against issues like Schmallenberg. The link can be found here: https://bit.ly/LambingSurvey

We had an emergency call for a Ewe who was having trouble lambing this morning. After a clinical examination, Emma discovered this lady had Ring Womb. Ring Womb is where the cervix fails to dilate fully. Emma decided that a Caesarean was the best plan of action…resulting in three lovely lambs!

It has been announced that from today, PCR testing will be expanded to replace culture testing on reactors and inconclusives at post mortem when they go to slaughter.

The new method reduces the time taken for APHA laboratories to report results to livestock keepers from up to 22 weeks to just 3 weeks. This means that in certain situations, if the PCR test results are negative, APHA could lift herd movement restrictions much sooner than the previous protocols allowed.

This is footage recovered from the TB Wildlife camera🦡 🎥🎥. The client didn't think that they had any live setts, but following a TBAS visit and the loan of the camera, it showed activity on the farm. The client said "I would definitely recommend having the camera on loan to monitor activity. If I had more time, I'd put it in different places on the farm to see where the badgers are and focus on preventing access". 🦡🦡🦡. Please contact the Farm Office on 01889 567200 to book a TBAS visit or book the wildlife camera. 🎥
