Herd Health Planning
We offer comprehensive herd health planning to all our farm and small-holder clients. Each plan is tailor made to the farm, taking management systems into account. The purpose of herd health planning is to identify problem areas and then work together to come up with practical solutions. Most farm assurance schemes now require all farms to have a health plan in place, with reviews undertaken annually. The 'Welsh Lamb & Beef Producers' are running a scheme together with 'Farming Connect', to part-fund health planning - more details can be found on their website http://healthplan.wlbp.co.ukFertility Info
