Cases of bluetongue virus (BTV) are rapidly increasing in both sheep and cattle. Clinical signs appear to be more severe than previous years, resulting in high mortality in sheep.

NSA is urging sheep farmers not to be complacent but to follow the lead of growing numbers of farmers and speak to their vets about assessing the risks of BTV-3 in their flocks and taking action to protect animals.

Join AHDB and NSA Chief Executive Phil Stocker to discuss the latest bluetongue situation.

We are incredibly lucky to work with some amazing people... but this post is dedicated to a lovely young lady who enjoyed some well deserved success at the recent Three Counties Show

Alice Newth of the Prestcombe Herd took champion shorthorn with her lovely cow and calf.

I was totally made up for her and the highlight of the day was her dear dad who rang me to tell me!

Our customers are just not that, they are friends too and we love sharing their success.

Well done Alice, next stop Norfolk!

Congratulations to all of our customers for your success at shows over the last few weeks, I will be doing a round up.

The transport of champions, what an honour it is!

Again we are the transport of champions!

Congratulations to all our customers on their fantastic success.

Despite the show being cut short which was such a shame, the team transported in and out 7 loads of show cattle and over 1100 shearing sheep.

We were also delighted to sponsor the intermediate shearing competition on the the thursday.

Thank you to the team for a top job as always.

Next stop, Three Counties show!
