We are holding four local Bluetongue update meetings across Dumfries & Galloway this week. With the BTV-3 situation continuing to develop and a Temporary Control Zone now in place, we will share the latest information, explain what it means for your business, outline what we are pressing for and answer questions from attendees.

Meetings will take place at:

• Monday 24 August, 7pm – Cressfield Hotel, Ecclefechan
• Tuesday 25 August, 7pm – Dumfries Auction Mart
• Wednesday 26 August, 7pm – Wallets Mart, Castle Douglas
• Thursday 27 August, 7pm – Wigtownshire Rugby Club

All farmers and crofters in the area are welcome, whether NFU Scotland members or not. There is no need to book, and non-members can find out more about our work and how to add their voice to NFU Scotland.

Hear directly from NFU Scotland on what we know, the latest position from the Scottish Government, what NFUS is pressing for and what happens next. Local auctioneers and veterinary practices will also join us to provide practical updates and answer questions.

As we prepare for what promises to be a brilliant day, we would once again like to recognise Galloway Vets, one of our Principal Sponsors of the Whistle-Stop Tour of the West.

Serving the Stewartry since 1867, Galloway Vets has a long-standing connection with the local farming community. Their experienced farm team works closely with livestock producers, providing practical herd and flock health support focused on preventative medicine, fertility, animal health, welfare and productivity.
We are extremely grateful to everyone at Galloway Vets for their generous support. The backing of businesses with such strong links to agriculture and the livestock industry plays an important part in making events like the Whistle-Stop Tour possible.

📍 On Saturday, our fully booked tour will visit four outstanding Salers herds – Traboyack, Cuil, Rusko and Girthon – demonstrating the versatility of the breed across a range of farming systems and bringing together breeders, commercial producers and friends of the breed.
