Hi everyone,

It's autumn, so we're doing a free talk on Fluke.

Its online, live, and is quite easy to join - I am not a "techie" at all, and I can handle this one - and we have options for those with poor connectivity.

See below. TAS-er's and my Smallholder mailing club of around 250 members are getting the link first, but in a day or two I will open it up to twitter and other portals - numbers are limited, so if you want on, get registered! The link is below.

We'll be at the Scottish Smallholder and Grower Festival again as well - of course - come for a chat or come to one of our talks. All questions welcome as always.

Category: Sheep, Cattle, Alpacas, Llamas, Deer and other stock.

As autumn has arrived, many stock keepers will now be thinking particularly about the risk of liver fluke in their stock and how to fight this devastating parasite. Whether you would like to learn all about fluke and its management/prevention on your holding, or whether you would just like to refresh your existing knowledge and get up-to-date on the latest developments and advice, this free webinar will provide you with the reliable, good quality information you need to help your stock - with particularly reference to the difficulties faced by those with a limited acreage.

The webinar is very easy to join, is free of charge and will be live. The talk will be followed by a question and answer session by the speaker, Caroline Robinson of SAC Consulting: Veterinary Services, where there will be an opportunity to type or ask your own questions, and to share in the experiences of other small farmers, smallholders and crofters.

NB There will be a telephone option for those in remote areas with very slow internet connection - please contact us to discuss this: caroline.robinson@sac.co.uk

You can even join us on your smartphone or tablet by downloading the GoToWebinar app!

The webinar talk is free, but numbers are limited - so if you would like to join, please do register as soon as you can to avoid disappointment - use the link provided.

SAC Consulting: Veterinary Services is part of SRUC (Scotland's Rural College) and provides diagnostic services, advice and knowledge transfer to vets in practice, farmers, smallholders, crofters and the Scottish Government among others. This talk is funded by the Scottish Government's Public Good Veterinary and Advisory Service.

 After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

Thanks Rosemary!

It is really easy. The platform has done most of the work for you. You just click and join. It should remind you the day before as well. You know me - a computer boffin I am not, I have much more of an affinity with the biologically based things in the world!

It's the first one....of many I hope.

Hi folks, Just a wee reminder of the free fluke talk tonight.

The registration link is above, and thankfully we still have a few places left so we've not left anyone out!

All welcome.
