Farm Animal Practice News
The trouble with newsy web sites is the need to regularly change things to encourage you to return and see new things. This need has to be provided by the Vets in their spare time. So they do seem a bit slow. We will try our best however to keep you informed of offers, news and anything that may be of interest. Keep an eye on our Farm animal Newsletter for all the latest from G&B!
Our farmer meetings are proving to be rather popular, hopefully forthcoming small group meetings may include:
The my healthy herd project.
