New Farm Vet!

We are pleased to welcome Jess to the Farm Team. She has previously spent a few weeks with us as a student and so might already be a familiar face to some of our clients. Welcome to the team Jess!

We’ve been reminiscing about what a great day we had at last weeks Oswestry Show!

We are proud to support the show year after year and it’s great to see the farming community coming together once again.

We look forward to seeing you there next year!

Know the clinical signs and if you suspect bluetongue, you must report it. Even if you have vaccinated against BTV-3, it could be another strain.
