From lambing to herd visits, our farm vets are always on the go — so a biscuit break is essential. 🍪
And let’s be honest… farmers deserve one too!
A quick pause, a cuppa, and a biscuit can make a long day that little bit easier — and today’s the perfect excuse as it’s World Biscuit Day (who knew? 😄)

With early summer approaching, it's important to stay ahead of Bluetongue (BTV-3)

Bluetongue virus (BTV-3) is expected to continue spreading in livestock-dense areas as we move into early summer. This poses a serious risk to animal welfare and could lead to significant economic losses.

Vaccination, strong hygiene practices, and robust biosecurity are key to protecting your stock and reducing on-farm risk.

📞 Speak to our team today to ensure your animals are fully protected ahead of the high-risk period.

❓The four questions of Nematodirus

If your lambs are grazing pasture that carried lambs last spring AND you answer yes to one or more of these questions, your lambs could be at risk.

🐑 Are the lambs spending time grazing and eating significant amounts of grass?
🐑 Do you have groups where there is also likely to be a challenge from coccidiosis?
eg, mixed aged lambs are a higher risk.
🐑 Are there lambs uner other stresses eg triplets, fostered, on young or older ewes.

If you are worried your lambs may be at risk, or want further advice, please contact the office and ask to speak to one of the vets. They will advise on actions you can take to reduce the risk. You can also find more information, including the latest disease forecasts, on the SCOPS website. https://www.scops.org.uk/forecasts/nematodirus

Dear all,
As some of you may know, I’ll be retiring from Parkside Vets on 21st May after 23 wonderful years.
It’s been a privilege to care for your animals and to get to know you over that time—something I will greatly miss. I’m confident the farm and equine team will continue to provide the high standard of care and compassion you expect.
Thank you for your friendship and trust over the years. My work as a rural vet has always felt more like a vocation than a job, and I leave with many happy memories. I look forward to seeing some of you at local shows and events in the future.
Wishing you and your animals all the very best.
Kind regards,
Alistair

BULL TESTING 🐂💥
Your bull is half your herd’s fertility — and one sub‑fertile bull can wipe out a breeding season. A fertile bull should serve 40–50 cows and get ~90% in‑calf in 9 weeks.

From March 2025, calves won’t qualify for Scottish suckler support if the previous calf was born >410 days earlier. Fertility problems won’t count as exceptional circumstances, so subsidy could be lost.

We offer full breeding soundness exams with reduced routine visit rates for pre‑booked visits (work over an hour). Bulls must be in a crush allowing safe access to the back end and sheath.

📞 01382 811111 — ask to speak to one of our vets.
