Could someone persuade Great Western Rail to use real milk in their coffee rather than some coloured veg oil extract?Every little helps.

@GWRUK have had the cheek to offer compensation for my fare! To see England v Wales is a once in a lifetime experience wrecked by them.

Odd cases this week: Classic milk fever in a 60litre cow six weeks calved. DA in a young cow 5 months pregnant. Odd things make interest.

"Reduce DC antibiotic use" for which there is no scientific evidence to justify yet lack of science used to prevent badger cull? Bizarre.

Vetswest sold out, Torch vets join XL - what future for independent vet practices? The corporates march on. We will continue to provide.

A day with the Action Group for Johnes.Processors,farmers and vets all getting the message that this disease needs sorting, and we can do it

[West Ridge Farm Vets @WestRidgeFarm]

Do these Springwatch guys make you angry as much as me? Self righteous, misinformation. We know where the hedgehogs have gone.

One broken leg is bad luck.Two is a real problem.Luxating patella corrected by surgery.Worth a try for the poor fella

[West Ridge Farm Vets @WestRidgeFarm]

Some folks troubled by definition of cure: full restoration of health, productivity and longevity. Creating a chronic invalid is not a cure.

Farmers not happy with new testing contract. They want us to do it, but realise that they will probably have to pay for the pleasure. Nuts.

[West Ridge Farm Vets @WestRidgeFarm]

Could be byebye TB testing.Tough on the farmers as i think they will end up paying if they want the right vet at the right time.Good luck XL

Now there is a good idea: curly neck rails. Cows like it. Great shed with happy cows.
