    Ritchie Beef Monitor

    Has anyone got any experience of one of these new weighing systems? looks like it would save a lot of time? would there be a productivity grant available in the next round? https://ritchie-d.co.uk/cattle-products/beef-monitor/

    Spirovac vaccination

    How do folks who use it apply it ? It is supposed to go under the skin as opposed to in the muscle. We have a herringbone parlour and a herringbone race. Neither seem easy options.
