Can't not share a couple of my favourite pictures from a very big heifer calf that wasn't being delivered naturally and twins that got tangled needed some sorting out! #Farm24 #BackBritishFarming @Westpoint_Vets @FarmersGuardian

Shearing ewes to remove thick fleeces in hot, warm weather is essential to ensuring the best animal welfare by reducing the risk of flystrike. These ladies were definitely ready for their haircut! #Farm24 #teamsheep #shearing2020 @Westpoint_Vets @DomStubbs9 @FarmersGuardian

We had a fab scanning session this morning with these lovely ladies #Farm24 #teamdairy @Westpoint_Vets @FarmersGuardian

Look out for our top tips tomorrow to ensure you make the most of your samples!

Sheep farmers!
🐑 Are you spending valuable time possibly needlessly worming?
🐑 How do you know if the wormer you’ve spent money on is working?
🐑 Could earlier intervention reduce growth checks?

Let us help with your parasite control and #MakeWormingCount!

These photos are in accordance with my sharing of the East Staffordshire Police statement regarding the killing and mutilation of lambs in the Uttoxeter area. Please get in touch if you have any information. The perpetrator needs to be caught and punished!

[Mel Bexon @MelBexon]

Absolutely dispicable that someone could do anything like this. This is an act of cruelty and whoever has done it should be named and shamed and punished! Makes my blood boil that someone could do such a thing 😡😡https://t.co/2ktlZim27r
