Attended a goat handling course this weekend 🐐. Training covered foot trimming, drenching, and other skills for supporting goat health and welfare- while keeping goats (mostly) cooperative. Thanks to @buttercupsgoats.bsky.social 🐐.

Thought-provoking final talk of the day at @globalbirdfair.bsky.social on using thermal imaging to monitor birds, presented by @westmidlandsrg.bsky.social.🔥📷🐦

Chicken handling course in the Cotswolds today! 🐔

Enjoyable sheep handling course today- vaccinated, fly sprayed and even got to bottle feed some lambs 🐑 at @myerscoughcollege.bsky.social

Fantastic talks and posters at #ASABSpring2025 and glad I had the opportunity to give a talk. Thanks to the organisers! 🐮 @asab-spring-2025.bsky.social
