Our vets are running a FREE pig course on Tuesday 3rd July at my smallholding. Ford Mill Farm - EX39 5RF.
It will cover pig health and husbandry, resulting in a Nadis certificate.
Some of the subjects being covered are: vaccinations, lameness, farrowing problems, reviving piglets, worms, external parasites and lots more. With the opportunity to meet the pigs here too.
9am - 4pm (lunch and refreshments included).
Contact Penbode Vets to take part 01409 253418 or [email protected]
Open to everyone.

Cheers

must admit very very tempted and its only 164miles away!
-
If anyone wants to put a tent up by the pond you'd be welcome!
Not sure if there will be any more here. It's a DEFRA funded course - I would have thought other vets would be doing them too.
I'll ask the vet is he knows more details about others.
-
I will be there Julie IF I can find a dog-sitter :)
-
Hope you do Sylvia, will be great to meet you.

Having been lucky enough to visit Julie's pad a few years ago to purchase a lovely GOS gilt I cannot recommend the place enough. It's really well set out, in a lovely part of the country and with a butchery too! That's not including the pig course ;D which I am sure will be very interesting and informative.
Wish I could go! But not let out for good behaviour for another 3 months. :eyelashes:

So how did the course go and did you get the results you expected...Was there a good response from the locals.
-
It's going to be on 3rd July. So looking forward to it.
I'm not sure what response there has been so far, I'll be seeing the vet in the week so will find out then.

The course is proving to be very popular, which is fantastic!
So that there aren't too many people around on one day we have added another date.

Look forward to meeting everyone
