Governments tell us to cut eating red meat and dairy products to ‘save the planet’ yet they ram through hundreds of massive data centres that consume vast amounts of energy and water…
The veterinary profession is tackling this issue, their antibiotic use is at its lowest ever, 57% reduction.
Most vet antibiotics have no human application.
The use of antibiotics in humans has risen 40% to around 50 billion doses a day. Often used inappropriately.
This is one of our two Heifers doing the show ring this year . Mairwen 1 Oyster Lass 4th. She has done very well so far few first and reserve champion too. Many thanks to all at Keadyview livestock for getting her looking so well.
Seems that Wild Justice & the Badger Trust have lost yet another court case over the badger cull. More conservation money wasted.

Saw this at JCB World Headquarters today. Every politician of every colour should have it on the wall.
5.7 million small businesses. 13 million jobs. 59% of the workforce. A third of all private sector turnover.
The people who carry this country, and the first ones overlooked when policy is written.
Back small business........ All of you 🙏 .....👍

England lost roughly half its breeding curlews between 1995 and 2021. One keepered dale in Upper Teesdale didn't lose any.
🐦 A new survey found about twice as many curlews on blanket bog managed by burning or cutting as on bog left alone — four breeding pairs per square kilometre against under two.
This is keepered ground. Gamekeepers cleared foxes and crows across most of the dale year-round, and curlews here fledged 1.0 chicks per pair — twice the rate needed to hold numbers steady.
📊 The dale carries 1,764 breeding pairs, close to 3% of the entire UK total. While the national population collapsed, active management held this one flat.
🌿 The same burning and cutting done for grouse breaks up an even sward and builds the structure nesting waders depend on.
🔥 Burning on blanket bog has been restricted in England since 2021. The authors are blunt: if cutting cannot reproduce what burning created, these curlews could fall too.
