It often feels like many people are anti farming, and that we, as an industry, are taking the hit from all sides. So it was very heart warming that the Hawkstone Farmers Choir won Britain's Got Talent on Saturday night, voted for by the Great British public! They DO appreciate you, WE appreciate you. And thank you to the choir for being a beautiful voice for everything we do 🤩

We love the variety that our job brings - we are medics, surgeons, obstetricians, consultants, podiatrists, and this week, dentists! This pygmy goat was getting food impacted in her cheeks - we anaesthesised her to get a good look at what was going on and found a wobbly molar tooth and sharp spikes on her cheek teeth, both of which we suspect would have been contributing to the issue. We are grateful to for lending us an electric tooth rasp to allow us to burr down the sharp ridges, and the wobbly tooth came out with some manual wiggling (technical term!)

WEEKEND WARNINGS!

With this sudden heatwave hitting, please beware of flystrike in sheep 🤢and heatstroke in cattle 🥵 over the next few days:

FLYSTRIKE - a lot of ewes have not yet been shorn yet, putting them at greater of flystrike because the warm damp fleece near the skin is attractive to flies. It may not be possible to see anything in the fleece with it being so thick, so watch out for any sheep that are separate from the group and/or flicking their tails.

HEATSTROKE - high producing cattle eg. dairy, are at greatest risk because their rumen is working so hard, producing lots of additional heat. Ensure your cattle have plenty of shade, and if possible, keep them in during the hottest part of the day.

We meet amazing, hard working people every day, but this particular image struck a cord with me. 93 year old Isabel, still playing a very active role, looking after the horses and sheep under her care. Respect!

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. We should be aware of the mental health of ourselves and our friends, family and colleagues all year round but it is also good to take the opportunity to highlight the support available. Two farming specific charities, FCN and RABI have helped people that we know, and are just a phone call away; whether you are needing advice, financial support or just a listening ear, please make use of these charities that are there to help the farming community who are often under a lot of pressure for many reasons.

This pregnant heifer was a week overdue so one of our vets induced and another one calved her a couple of days later 🤎.
The calf was obviously far too comfy in there to want to come out but was getting bigger by the day! Alls well that ends well!

🥩🇬🇧 Great British Beef Week is back! | 23–30 April 🇬🇧🥩

We’re proud to celebrate the outstanding quality of British beef—and the farmers who work tirelessly to produce it. 🐮

Here at Avon Farm Vets, we see first-hand the dedication, care, and high welfare standards that go into raising healthy cattle. Supporting herd health, productivity, and sustainability is at the heart of what we do, and we’re proud to work alongside British beef farmers every day.

This week is a chance to recognise the collaboration behind every plate—from farmer to vet to fork—and the shared commitment to producing safe, high-quality food.

Join us in celebrating British beef and the people who make it possible. 🇬🇧🐄

The big lambs keep coming! This is blackberry, not only is her lamb almost the same size as her at 0 hours old but he attempted to nose dive into the world head first and required some assistance!

Timely intervention from the farmer led to a lovely live lamb at this out of hours call. It was great to see such a well managed lambing shed, making use of bucket lids to aid communication and management of the freshly lambed ewes.
