We are very sad to announce that Tern Farm Vets will be closing its doors for the final time today.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the lovely staff, past and present, who have worked here over the years, and the wonderful clients who have supported us. We are proud to have been a small part of your business, and feel lucky enough to call many of you friends. We hope we will see you all again soon, and would like to wish you all the very best for the future.

Warning for sheep farmers!

Flystrike is about and now is the time to act and prevent it from occurring 🪰
Remember that flies are attracted to dead, decaying tissue and faeces. This means that ewes with a dirty fleece or those suffering with Footrot will be most at risk.
Dagging dirty ewes, shearing, and treating lame ewes will help to reduce this risk, as well as using topical fly prevention such as Crovect, CLiK etc.
Footvax can also be used to reduce the incidence of Footrot within your flock.

Please contact our office for further information and for treatment advice if you unfortunately suffer a case of blowfly strike.
Call 01630 656300 or email [email protected]

🪰BLOWFLY UDPATE🪰

The warmer weather with humid and wet conditions mean that risk of flystrike is increasing. See updates and report cases here bit.ly/3UEPShu

This week is Mental Health Week in the UK, and this year more than ever it is important to remember to talk and

The reality of farming...

This week in the U.K is Mental Health Awareness week and although living in the beautiful British countryside has so many pros studies have shown that there is a huge gap in rural mental health care.

There are so many factors that play into this, from lack of resources, outdated views on mental health, lack of public transport to high stress jobs.

Studies have found that both vets and farm workers are at high risk of poor mental health.

This week I will be having open conversations about mental health, what we can do to reduce the stigma around it and how you can help.

10% of all sales made this week will be heading to charity and their Mind Your Head campaign.

These two had a rather traumatic start to their life! Luckily vet Melissa was on hand to perform a caesarean when they were unable to be lambed normally. 💉
A good outcome for all with two live lambs, with one standing before the stitching was finished, and a happy ewe mothering them! 🐑
