Happy World Farm Animals Day!🐄🐑🐓

Here at Top Farm BCA, one of the big things we aim to teach our students is 'attention to detail'.
This is one of the times this really came into practice.
Back in July one of our suckler calves was found early in the day unwell in the field. A quick decision was made by the Farm team to call the vet out whilst moving the calf and cow back to the barn for care.
One of our fantastic vets (Adelle) came out and the diagnosis of Tetanus was given. Unfortunately this diagnosis doesn't tend to bode well...
However this is an incredible show of how the care from our Farm team and the willingness of the calf wanting to live.
The calf took around 2 months to come back to full health, and is currently out grazing with the herd looking fantastic.
The first photo is of him today, the following images/videos shows him from diagnosis and the start of treatment, through his progress to a full recovery.
A massive thank you to our Vets from Larkmead Vets - Farm

Last week our Farm Manager Chris, collected some new additions for the Farm. 🐮
These calves help our students to learn about different rearing systems with cattle. They are able to get hands on with daily husbandry tasks, weekly weighing, tracking D.L.W.G, B.C.S and much more!

Last week we had our Annual TB test on Farm.
Our T-level Yr1 & Yr2 students had a great opportunity getting involved on both days, along side Vet Tom from .
They worked with the cattle to get them through the race and into the cattle crush for our vet on both days.
Whilst we had our cattle in we also took the opportunity to give them a preventative topical fly treatment.
They also got to see one of our cows get PD' (Pregnancy Diagnosed) with an in calf result.
An 'All Clear' TB result and another cow in calf. A great week on farm! 🐄
