Our ruminant specialist for Yorkshire, Michael Richardson, has had a busy week! 🙂

He featured in the Farmers Guardian, sharing how he supports feeding at the Birdsall Estate, and earlier in the week he was at Selby Mart for their Christmas Show and Fair — a fantastic chance to catch up with customers and chat through winter feed plans.

Great work, Michael! 👏

🚀 We had a brilliant day at Agriscot where we officially launched our updated Buttercup Calf Range!

You’ll spot our fresh new logo and packaging, but that’s not all…

We’ve also added two new skim milk powders to the range: Buttercup Thrive and Buttercup Glow, giving you even more choice to match your calf-rearing system.

Everything in the Buttercup range has been developed with one goal in mind: helping your calves reach their full potential right from day one.

Our milk powders and feeds combine the latest research with high-quality ingredients to support early growth, rumen development and overall calf health.

As our Dairy Nutritionist, Caitlin Palmer, said at the launch: “Our aim is to continually evolve our product offering to meet the needs of today’s calf unit… giving calves the best nutritional foundation for lifetime performance.”

But great calf performance isn’t just about the products you use — it starts with management.

📋 That’s why we offer a FREE Calf Audit.
We’ll look at your colostrum management, environment, weaning strategy and more, then provide clear, practical and tailored recommendations for your unit.

Winter can be challenging for horses — from wet weather to limited grazing. But with the right approach, you can keep your horses healthy, happy, and stress-free. 🐴❄️

Here are a few of our expert tips for winter care:
🌾 Rug wisely — Avoid over-rugging; check under rugs regularly for rubbing or sweating.
💧 Hydration is key — Add a splash of warm water to buckets or feed to encourage drinking.
🥕 Feed for condition — Increase forage and consider adding oils for extra calories.
🧽 Keep them moving — Regular turnout or exercise prevents stiffness.

Need personalised advice? Our equine specialists are always happy to chat through your horse’s winter routine and recommend feed, supplements, or stable care products to match.
