Join this webinar as we introduce you to our new strategic dairy farmer, Adam Atkinson from South Devon, and his wife, Holly.

This meeting will cover

  • How the team has tackled pneumonia on Caulston Farm through existing calf housing, implementing changes and strict hygiene and protocol to ensure a healthy future generation of heifers for the herd
  • We will discuss and review some video clips of the speakers on the previous webinars as an overview of the pneumonia campaign
  • We will hear their top tips for looking holistically at the causes of pneumonia and how you can make positive management changes as part of a multifactorial approach to prevent it on your farm

About Caulston Farm

Caulston Farm is an organic dairy farm in the Devon countryside with over 900 acres of land.

It is home to 600 spring-calving Jersey-cross-Friesian cows that spend more than 300 days of the year outside.

The farm's soils are coastal, free-draining, sandy loam. The main plants are chicory and plantain and are included in all leys. They also grow clover and use kale as a break crop for the winter. The rotational grazing platform is measured weekly.

Registration

Those registering early can request a free delegate pack in the post containing a calf thermometer, an environment thermometer, and other valuable resources from us. We will also send you your cuppa and biscuit to enjoy while listening live to the webinar.

We look forward to receiving your questions and pneumonia management-related experiences for discussion during the webinar.

If you can't make the live webinar, you can still register to receive a recording and links to resources after the event.
