Really positive discussions today with @theBCVA and the vet schools on day 1 practical skills for farm vets at the #VetEd23 conference. We have a good list that should help vet students, vets in practice and vet schools in the future. Thanks @AliceMillerVet for organising
How fab that all the speakers and practical leads for RVC FAVS Symposium are women in farming! (There weโre two guys scheduled but they both got covid ๐)
Girls canโt be farm vets? Move along!

Youโd be hard pushed to find a bigger inspiration than @Nigelrefowens. Speaking so openly about his experiences & challenges with diversity, inclusion & mental health @theBCVA. Difficult conversations to have, but better to have them than the consequences of not. #meetyourheroes
What a week! First @theBCVA Congress as a board member & I couldnโt be prouder to be part of this awesome, hardworking team. A full packed programme from inspirational speakers & I was chuffed to contribute with a lecture on bull fertility evaluation.

Find us at the @GandS_Show pitch number D25 opposite the cattle rings!We have our team working as the show vets and we are sponsoring the fun, food and farming area. Why not head over with the kids so they can learn more about where their food comes from and how it is produced!
Today we join the nation in supporting #Farm24 by sharing our pumpkin farming story.
Our pumpkins are growing nicely, ready for the farm gates to open in October as we welcome you to pick your own!

Calving cows is such a huge part of farm vet life, and whilst it can be both daunting and challenging, I find the whole process fascinating and so rewarding. Hopefully some thought provoking discussion and a useful review here, in my recently published article. Thanks @VPToday
โCalf welfare must not be compromised and should be at the forefront of any calving management planโ
Alice Miller of @FriarsMoorVets discusses common calving problems in her excellent and informative article for VPT: https://t.co/Hqjs9DAapN

This first time mum needed a helping hand from farm vet Alice yesterday morning. But it wasnโt long before she started bonding with her lambs and they were keen to start trying to stand for the first time! ๐๐๐ค๐ฅฐ
