Temple Grandin AHDB free webinar tonight

JP1 · Feb 8, 2021

Professor Temple Grandin didn't disappoint tonight

Thanks to @Sandpit Farm for facilitating

Aimed at dairy farmers but equally applicable to beef cattle

I must have heard her speak a dozen times and I always pick up something new

Hopefully I'm not breaching copyright with a few screenshots

I had signed up but had to calve a heifer instead. I’ll definitely catch up when the recording is sent out.

Woolless · Feb 8, 2021

Can you put up a reminder when the recording goes up @JP1 or @Sandpit Farm?

You always get the feeling that there's another 100hrs of info there. She was only getting warmed up.

^^^ this

Stuff that she just throws in at 100mph and always so useful

I want to do the Miriam Parker one for the same reason

We did the Miriam Parker course arranged by 3LM with @pear @Samcowman and @martian last year. and found it very useful. £500 (for 2 of us) well spent.

It was very good, but still not clear how I persuade my sucklers to actually use a self locking yoke rather than standing just shy of it. Probably best just replace it with a manual one I think. 18 months of TB testing has made them too savvy.

primmiemoo · Feb 9, 2021

How do those of us who are levy payers but who aren't on faceache get to hear about these talks, please?

I haven't had any notification by post, and understand that AHDB is going to drop contact with their levy payers who don't have access to all singing/dancing broadband, too.

Good choice. I have a mobile one of them and it works well, but doesn't fit in my permanent handling set up without serious modification unfortunately.

Most of it is bespoke fabrication - with a Morris manual head yoke and single piece front gate

Dan Powell · Feb 9, 2021

Nice set up. The Morris headgate is great although it's possible to take out the vet's teeth with the second handle if they're not watching out!

If you don’t hear about this stuff, your details must be wrong at their end. A posted invite is probably not practical at £2/throw. Printing and posting etc. Reckon if you have an email address, it is correct and they have permission to email you - you should hear of this stuff.

Disappointed that the Miriam Parker follow up is restricted to dairy levy payers on a first come first serve basis, mid-day and only offered to folks who subscribed to the Temple Grandin webinar

She's approachable. Ask her if she'd do one for a group of Suffolk beef farmers.

Yes but just when I was thinking something tangible from the AHDB .......

It’s not. The just the meeting on 24th Feb is restricted to Dairy farmers.

If beef folks but their name down, they are considering doing beef ones. It just may be a bit later. The challenges on dairy handling can be very different to beef - hence it makes sense to have a meeting for either one of the other.

Sorry , so where is the link to the main Miriam Parker webinar ?

It isn’t a webinar, it’s an online discussion group for 30 people - a one off. Very different. They get emailed a link.

You email [email protected] saying you are a beef levy payer who saw the Temple Grandin webinar and would be interested in a beef version of the above. They will add you to a list. If there’s demand, they will look into setting a beef one up.

A discussion of dairy farmers will definitely focus on different things to beef farmers.
