At this point I was fascinated by what this means for practical farmers
Dick was clear - bringing in animals from a ‘clear’ tested herd of it was from a high risk area was probably a terrible idea
Cattle coming north from the hot spots is a time bomb waiting to blow…

One of our Aln Hereford bulls for SALE. Good flesh for 9 weeks of bulling and running behind sheeps.
What does our man in NZ say about this? Paging @BenDooley8 irishtimes.com/business/2025…
Two clients, two annual health plan appointments, 12,000 miles apart.
Reassuring that farmers turn up to the vets in style - or does it just say something about @JohnDeere drivers?! 😁

Help please!
We're collecting data re UK lambing practices last year.
Would massively appreciate it if any sheep farmers could take 5 mins to complete these quick questions - bit.ly/Lamb24QuickQuestions
Thank you!

Following a confirmed case of Foot and Mouth Disease in Germany, the UK Chief Veterinary Officer is urging livestock keepers to remain vigilant for signs of disease, follow scrupulous biosecurity & report any suspicion of disease immediately to the Animal and Plant Health Agency.
My spies in West Otago have proven that @fairleigh_ag is still a legend. 🫡

We really want farmers to let us know how BTV3 is affecting them - please do share this survey link widely- especially important if you know anyone suffering - we need facts to ensure appropriate support...
UK Farmers are urged to complete an anonymous BTV-3 survey to understand the impact of bluetongue– this survey will help shape decisions about how the industry can support farmers going forwards.
Please take part via: bit.ly/BTV3survey

PRESS RELEASE: New President for the Sheep Veterinary Society, Kim Hamer became the new President of the Sheep Veterinary Society during the Autumn Conference held in Morpeth this week.

🍚 Salient reminder that food self-sufficiency, security, and sovereignty do not always overlap. 🍚
Difficult not to draw parallels for set aside programmes as well!
Very well articulated response - it's complicated...
On 23 August BBC broadcast Brian May: The Badgers, the Farmers and Me. BCVA has written a response, focussed on evidence, and reflecting the experience of farm vets who face the realities of this disease and see the devastating impact on herds and farmers. bit.ly/46ZY2Xz
We don't do much fine wool work over here but no doubt plenty of useful analogies to make for meat & milk: thehub.nextgenagri.com/c/art… Great short read @neXtgenAgri, a wool follicle as a parasite in the skin is a new one on me!
