What a difference a few months makes... I fostered this dairy bull calf onto a #RubyRed cow back in the autumn after she lost hers just after birth. He may not look like his “siblings” but he never let that get him down... 😂 #BeefFarmers #teambeef #farm365 #nativebreeds

@AHDB_BeefLamb estimates acute mastitis affects 5% of ewes in the UK, with up to 50% of these dying & 90% losing the affected quarter. A further 20-30% of ewes have sub-clinical mastitis during lactation, reducing lamb growth rates & leading to low 8 week weights. @FGInsight

My 3 little girls just love their breakfast @lamlacvolac and the bottle holder is a fab idea from @NettexAgri #lambing19 #sheep365

One of these is burning up carbon and massively contributing to global warming. The other is converting indigestible grasses and poor quality farmland into habit, while making steak.

Really excited about #colostrumisgold campaign starting at the end of this week!

[BritishAgri @BritishAgri_]

What's your lamb colostrum policy like? Adequate?
-80% of UK farmers fail to provide adequate colostrum in the first 24 hours
-Advise is to feed a minimum of 210ml/kg LW (1l for a 5kg lamb)
