Over the last couple of days, we had the opportunity to attend The Semex International Dairy Conference 2025 in Glasgow, chaired by Minette Batters. It was a brilliant event, full of discussions on consumer trends, sustainability, supply chain innovation, and much more!

Highlights for us included:

📈 Gemma Nicholas, Business Operations Director at Coca-Cola Company, who shared insights on the influence of consumer perception.
👩‍⚕️ Sarah Tomlinson, Lead Veterinary Science Expert at AHDB, who tackled pressing issues surrounding livestock health.
🐄Jeremy Bergan, US dairy farmer, who shared his journey of growing his dairy farm from 80 cows to an impressive 5,700 cows!

We’re leaving with a wealth of knowledge and plenty of ideas on how we can continue bridging the gap between farmers and consumers through our Shout About Farming campaign.

A huge thank you to Semex and all the speakers for an exceptional event!

As suppliers of premium cubicle conditioners, we’ve always said that pairing our quality sawdust product with mats or mattresses can improve lying down frequency. 🐄

A 2021 study by Harper Adams University highlighted the benefits of sawdust on lying down times.

The study, which used leg-mounted accelerometers to measure daily lying time and the number and duration of lying bouts, found that cows on sawdust had more lying bouts per day.

Farming is a profession that never stops, not even during the festive season. Feelings of isolation during this time of year are especially pronounced for farmers.

In 2022, Farming Life reported that 92% of farmers under the age of 40 identified poor mental health as the biggest hidden problem facing farmers today. With Christmas just around the corner, now more than ever, it's vital to remind our farmers that they are never alone in their struggles.

That’s why we’re proud to partner with The Farming Community Network, a remarkable charity that provides essential support to farmers and their families across the UK. Mental health-related issues, such as stress or anxiety, feature frequently in calls made to the charity. FCN is here to listen and support everyone in our farming community.

That’s why, for every bale of our premium cubicle conditioners sold, we will make a donation to FCN. Together, we can help spread the message of solidarity and support. Join us in making a difference this winter. 🤝❤️

Meet Philip Steans, Farm & Estate Manager at Wiltshire College! After switching to cubicles and using our Finebed product, the results speak for themselves!
