Warning! The following image is not for the squeamish!

Postmortem exams (PME) are a valuable tool for the diagnosis and prevention of disease on farm.

PME allow our vets to visualise organs fully (apparently Josie’s need to visualise them very very closely), and take samples that are impossible to take from a living animal.

FAQs

Can I have a PME on my sheep that died 36 hours ago when the average temperature is 27 degrees Celsius?
- NO! Well actually yes we can do it, but the vet will be smelling the aftermath on their fingers for a few days and any samples taken are significantly less likely to yield and useful result. We would much rather you spend your money on a fresher and more useful PME.

Can you do a PME on my farm?
- Yes we can do them either on your farm or if they have been collected by a fallen stock company local to us we can complete them there.

What’s the best time to do a PME?
- The fresher the better! Under 12 hours from death would be our preference. During colder months this can be extended.

Can I watch?
- Of course! You can be can be as involved and close up as you like!

Will it make a mess?
- There will be some mess, as demonstrated by the photo, but we will ensure all body parts are safely back in the carcass to allow for collection.

Some thank yous are in order.

Firstly, we want to thank all our clients for patiently waiting for our Bluetongue vaccine deliveries. We are working our way through the order list as fast as we can. We also truely appreciate everyone that has come together to allow us to get the most out the bottles we get. Wasting doses when it’s in such short supply would be a crime!

Secondly, thank you to our super star Gill. There’s a lot of organising and paperwork behind the scenes with these sorts of things. Gill we appreciate you!

Numbers of Bluetongue cases are rising rapidly!

There have been 81 confirmed cases since the 1st July 2026.

The only way to effectively protect your livestock is to vaccinate.

Please ring the office or contact your routine vet to discuss and order Bluetongue vaccine.

Anyone else noticing the huge amount of ragwort on the verges!?

Cattle and camelids are highly susceptible to ragwort poisoning. Sheep and goats have a greater tolerance to the plant but over consumption can result in poisoning.

Most animals will avoid the plant due to its bitter taste, however, when the grass runs lows they may resort to eating it.

Ragwort is most commonly consumed accidentally when it is cut and dried in hay or silage. The bitter taste is reduced and it is harder to spot when mixed through a bale.

Keep a close eye out for it on your land and remove asap before it spreads!

Thank you everyone that came to catch up with us yesterday. It’s always such a pleasure to see everyone on neutral terri...

Thank you everyone that came to catch up with us yesterday. It’s always such a pleasure to see everyone on neutral territory!

Now time for the shoutouts 📢📢

Firstly, thank you Hanbury Countryside Show stewards and volunteers for putting on a fantastic show every year.

Thank you to our vets Fiona, Jade and Ben for ensuring the health and welfare of all the animals attending the show was paramount.

Thank you to vet George for running the much loved poultry tent.

Thank you Gill and her glamorous assistant Claire for organising and running the cattle section. There is a lot of work behind the scenes to be show day ready.

Thank you Mandy, Sophie, Emma, Lucy, Chloe, Anne and Jo for managing the marquee. Everyone who entered had a warm welcome, a brew and cake. Mandy must have broken the European, maybe even the world record for most cups of tea and coffee made in a day.

Thank you to Charlotte Farm House Cakes for all the delicious cake.

Finally, thank YOU for your donations. Every year we raise money for worthy causes and your support means a lot to us.

We’ll work on actually getting photos of us next year… as usual we only took photos of livestock.

We’re here, the burco is hot, the cake is sliced and Fiona is already distracted by the horses!!

Hanbury show 2026 is nearly here!

We will be in our usual spot next to the main area, and as always we’ll have enough refreshments and cake to sink a ship.

There will be activities for the kids, so you can take a seat and have a relaxed cuppa and cake.

Our vets will also be on duty across the show ensuring all animals are safe and healthy. Make sure to say hello when you see them.

We’re starting to realise that the local cows are getting better treatment in this heat than us! These girls are waiting patiently to be milked under their chilled water misters.

Bringing a new meaning to teat dipping. Chilled milk anyone?

Wise old Ben was hanging around whilst the buckets were being washed instead of going in the field. Finally, his human realised he was dropping a massive horsey hint, “hose me down!”
