If you haven't caught last week's episode yet, here's why it's worth your time.

Ian Lindsay, Business Development Director at LKL Services LTD, compares a modern dairy cow to a Formula One car: however good the team around her, none of it matters if the tyres, in this case the feet, aren't right. Matt Dobbs, Vet & CEO of HerdVision, joins Andrew and Sarah alongside Ian to talk through the 2026 Stride - UK Dairy Mobility Initiative survey findings on UK dairy mobility, and what's really stopping farms tackling it.

One of the clearest findings in this episode: most farms don't have anyone specifically responsible for mobility, the way a herd might have a dedicated youngstock manager.

Matt Dobbs, Vet & CEO of HerdVision, and Ian Lindsay, Business Development Director at LKL Services LTD, joined Andrew and Sarah to talk through the results of the latest Stride - UK Dairy Mobility Initiative survey and why that gap in ownership matters, and what it would take to close it.

Most farmers underestimate what a case of lameness is really costing them, and the numbers in the new Stride - UK Dairy Mobility Initiative survey are stark.

Andrew and Sarah are joined by Matt Dobbs, Vet & CEO of HerdVision, and Ian Lindsay, Business Development Director at LKL Services LTD, to talk through why, and what's really stopping farms tackling it.

Ask most farmers what a case of lameness costs and the answer is often a guess.

The 2026 Stride - UK Dairy Mobility Initiative survey has just landed, and it's not comfortable reading. Nearly one in five UK dairy farmers reckon it's costing them under £100 a case. The real average is closer to £330, much of it lost milk that's never even seen.

Andrew and Sarah talked to Matt Dobbs, Vet & CEO of HerdVision, and Ian Lindsay, Business Development Director at LKL Services LTD, about why, and what's really stopping farms tackling it.

If you haven't caught last week's episode yet, here's why it's worth your time.

A GB-wide study of five thousand dairy herds found a quarter tested positive for bovine TB at least once during 2023, including a fifth that were officially TB-free and trading with no restrictions in place at the time. Rachel Hayton, Research Lead at Synergy Farm Health, led the work using the Enferplex test at a bulk milk level for the first time, and she is joined in conversation by Sarah Tomlinson, Lead Veterinary Science Expert at AHDB Dairy and TB Advisory Service.

This work was in partnership with Sure Farm Ltd, Enfer Group, National Milk Records Ltd, UK Agri-Tech Centre, SRUC and funded by Innovate UK.

If you haven't caught last week's episode yet, here's why it's worth your time.

England's new bovine TB strategy sets out cattle vaccination by 2030, an end to badger culling in favour of vaccination, and a new route to ancillary testing that means officially TB-free farmers could avoid the ten-day cull and sixty-day testing that currently follows a positive result. Sarah Tomlinson, Lead Veterinary Science Expert at AHDB Dairy and TB Advisory Service, chaired one of the working groups behind it.

It's been a bits-and-pieces kind of week — a bit of admin, editing the next podcast episode, and a good conversation with a new suckler client.

But really, the week has been dominated by one thing: the Gillingham & Shaftesbury Show. It's a two-day show, just five minutes down the road from Andrew, and one he always makes a point of supporting.

It was good to be there. Plenty of familiar faces and some new ones too, and plenty of good conversations — about nutrition, about CowSignals, and about first aid training, which is being given a push again this year.

On the podcast side, last Wednesday's two new TB episodes are sitting in the Top 25% of all podcasts — right where the show has consistently ranked for the last 18 months. One features Sarah Tomlinson discussing the recently released TB strategy for England. The other looks at bulk milk Enferplex testing, led by Rachel Hayton's 2023 research and joined in conversation by Sarah Tomlinson.
