- Michael Wilkinson from Nantwich Vets is coming to talk to undergraduates about his “Tips for starting your first job in Farm Practice” on February 3rd
- We have 24 Glasgow students making the trip down to Nottingham for FAVS Congress 2015! (6-8th Feb)
- Our first farm walk of the year is to take place in Perthshire at the Highland Wagyu estate - the largest producer of Wagyu cattle in the UK and on course to become the biggest in Europe. February 14th
- Lee-Anne Oliver from Scott Mitchell Associates in Northumberland is coming to give a talk on Beef Cattle and how they are farmed on the 16th February
- Also in February we are aiming to put on a student- led information session on LAMBING where some seasoned older years can relay their top tips for those 1st and 2nd years heading out to the farms this Easter!
