Lambing Kit List
posted on Fri, 19 Jan 2024
Any spare minute during lambing is better spent resting with a cuppa rather than dashing in to the vets practice or ag store for emergency supplies.
Check your medicine cabinet and kit stash to ensure you have everything you need (remember to check expiry dates!). Make a list of anything you are missing and pick these up ahead of the chaotic lambing period.
We have put together a list of kit we think you may need - just click 'read more' to expand the image and get some inspiration for your supplies.

TB Update: Post-Movement Testing
posted on Thu, 16 Nov 2023
It is that time of year again when the TB diary starts to get very busy! We kindly ask that you be organised and book in any tests with as much notice as possible so we are better able to fulfil your requests.
Post-Movement Testing: As of the 1st August 2023, cattle moving from higher TB incidence areas of England and Wales into the annual surveillance area of England are now required to undergo post-movement testing. Since then, APHA have kindly been sending reminders to carry out such testing when required. From the 1st December 2023, APHA will no longer be sending these reminders...
