🤔 Given the colossal price of machinery, is it not too much to ask for a manufacturer to come up with something that is fit for purpose and keeps the operators safe, asks @jamesherrick... @yellowwelliesuk | @nfu_farmsafety

Careful management, particularly post-calving, is required to ensure a 365-day calving interval is retained. Sarah Penrose, senior knowledge exchange manager at AHDB beef and lamb, provides a step-by-step guide to post-calving management fwi.co.uk/livestock/livestoc…

Thanks guys, now pushing 90% after 5 1/2 weeks. 🙌🏻
Great piece in this weeks @FarmersWeekly from @jamesherrick - 75% calved in 4 weeks 👏 This sounds like #maternalmatters to us 👉bit.ly/3H57opk For the 🇨🇦 perspective, @allaboutthecows had a chat with @NerbasBrosAngus 👉bit.ly/3H3d56S fwi.co.uk/farm-life/young-fa…

Calving time can have substantial cost implications on the profitability of any suckler enterprise. You can see the cost implications of assistance below. For these reasons, we prioritise calving ease in Stabiliser cattle, as it is the first step when producing profitable beef.

Our research is showing that levels of mental health in farming are deteriorating so, maybe it has to be you to take the time to notice others and make the time to talk… You don’t know how important you could be #MindYourHead

This is incredible. Unfortunately however, a sad kind of incredible.
Here’s a 20 second film that it took me 40 hours to make and it’s called ‘You can never be forgiven for what you’ve done’ or something like that
