All things fertility at Shannas!

We enjoyed a fantastic day among top quality livestock yesterday discussing all things fertility, bull management, heifer selection, grass and much much more!

Huge thanks to our hosts John and Margaret Penny, Keith Johnstone (Hillcrest), Iain McCormack (Zoetis), catering from Ythan Bakery and all our suckler clients that made it along to share their knowledge, experience and expertise.

Nematodirus warning! 🐑☠️

The Nematodirus hatch is imminent across Aberdeenshire.

Lambs 6-12 weeks old on grass that had young lambs on it last year are at greatest risk. Keep an eye on stock and the forecast tool at https://www.scops.org.uk/forecasts/nematodirus-forecast/.

White drench is the most effective treatment, but needs to be timed correctly. Contact us to discuss.

As the sun was setting last night our vet Fiona delivered this big lad by caesarian section. Caesarian’s in cows (and sheep) are performed under local anaesthetic and recovery is very quick! 😊
