100 years old! This shed, constructed by my great grandfather Tom Fagan back in 1924, was originally built to house pigs. Today it is used as one of our calving sheds🐮
We actually have several sheds around the farm with dates engraved on them, does anyone else have any similar?

Every year, we face these same challenges and worries despite our best efforts to keep sheep safe. The consequences are huge now for farmers in terms of vet bills and loss of animals 🐑
Dog owners must be held more accountable. An all too familiar story.

In 2024, we saw a dramatic surge in parasite FEC testing from the equine industry, with a 340% increase in the number of tests conducted compared to the previous year 📈 As a result, the clear extent of parasitic infection trends in horses has emerged 🐴

If the pack size of a worming product holds less than required, leave one or two fit animals undosed: NEVER underdose the whole group #avoidwormerresistance

Advice from #SCOPS and @COWSworms, Farmers urged to test for liver fluke in an autumn and winter that could be ‘very different’ to recent years.
Best approach still ‘test, don’t guess’

Using a targeted selective treatment approach to anthelmintic prescriptions through use of faecal egg counting and weighing has been a game changer for our customers, with test results available in 30 minutes or less. @BimedaUK @MicronAgritech @AMTRA_RAMA
