Nice to get away from the farm with this one to go to his first football match.

This winter has made us look at things regards bedding and now that have had a full winter on it, deep bedded sand is certainly the way forward for calves. ⁦@HefinR⁩ ⁦@SandstoneVG⁩

Rumours Carrie Symonds ’demanded’ #Defra Secretary George Eustice should lose his job for being ’too close’ to the farming lobby and ’insufficiently’ tough on animal welfare have sparked outrage in the farming industry. buff.ly/3e80Bgj #UKGovernment #UKfarming

DYK - the carbon footprint of a return-flight to Sydney from London Heathrow (back when we could travel!) is equivalent to 9 years of UK #beef consumption. Lots of fun talking to both @SLUFutureFood and @NFUEastMidlands about this today. #cattle #sustainability
