These annual industry awards are an opportunity to recognise and reward talent and contribution within dairy farming. It was great for a few of the team to be there to see Will Balhatchet awarded as Young Dairy Vet of the Year.

The judges summarised as follows:

"Will's dedication to improving health, welfare, and productivity on dairy farms, combined with his practical experience as a former dairy herdsperson and innovative approach, sets him apart. His clear advice and workable action plans, effective problem-solving, and proactive initiatives, such as the embryo transfer service he set up and robot discussion group he initiated, have made a significant impact to his dairy farming clients. His clients say he goes above and beyond to improve the health, welfare and productivity of the animals he cares for, and they strongly endorse him as a worthy winner of this award."
