Released today, our last podcast for 2025 and as such it's our Christmas episode, which means we try and make it a little less technical.

This time we catch up with Prof. Jon Huxley, current Dean and Head of School, School of Veterinary Science Massey University - Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa, and formerly of University of Nottingham School of Veterinary Medicine and Science and discuss life after leaving for New Zealand seven and a half years ago.

We discuss what drove him to become a vet, his PhD. at Bristol Vet School, University of Bristol group, his move to University of Nottingham and what instigated him to pursue the work he did on cattle lameness.

Now he's in New Zealand we discuss his life over there, and the changes this has brought for him and his family.

A great episode for you to just sit back and enjoy the conversation!

Had some fantastic feedback earlier this week from a listener in the US, and it's always wonderful to hear!

Just shows the reach a podcast can have, and we are achieving our aim of making people think about what they are doing!

Matt shared this after recording a future episode with us, after starting to listen in preparation to see who we were!

Either way it's always great to hear these things! Thank you for letting us share Matt, and look forward to releasing your podcast next year!

Yesterday Andrew was asked to speak at the Horizon Seeds Agents Christmas Meeting.

He primarily spoke about "Maximising Forage Production & Use", talking about options this winter, but more so what to consider for next season.

Much of what he spoke about would have been familiar to those present, but the point was to create some discussion around the room, and then to do the same when the agents visited their clients on farm.

One of the big surprises to many was the financial benefits between using the highest & lowest varieties from the Niab recommended list, using a straight Intermediate Perennial Ryegrass Diploid as an example. This financial benefit comes from the extra energy available from the top variety, converted in to milk production.

Mixes, rather than straights, are used on farm but there would still be a benefit and the difference will likely be even greater if you don't use a variety/ies on the recommended list!

He then spoke briefly to the room about CowSignals Training Company courses and the benefits these bring on farm, before speaking about ChewintheCud Ltd Podcast and talking about it's history and how that has grown in the last three and a half years, from just a handful of listeners to consistently being in the Top 25% of all podcasts.

Overall a great day, and thank you for the invitation Grainseed UK

Getting set up for an afternoon of mobility scoring! With the weather "unsettled" this afternoon it's a rare afternoon of being inside to score trying to squeeze as tightly into a back corner so as not to upset any cow flow!

On Tuesday this week I had the pleasure to host another CowSignals Training Company course, this time on behalf of AHDB Dairy, in conjunction with Penbode Farm Vets, in West Devon.

Another great day of learning, with some lovely feedback at the end, so many thanks to our hosts David Luxton & the Haworth Family for allowing us to walk around the cows as part of the afternoon's workshop.

There were some great insights had, and some little changes that could be made, from the observations the group saw during their time with the cows.

At the end of the day all we are trying to improve is the health, welfare & sustainability of your cows, and the happier they are, the happier you and therefore the planet is to!

Available Now!

With our latest podcast we talk to Chris Knight, founder of Agribot about the new system developed by himself to measure grass.

Unlike previous attempts to measure grass from satellites, this one doesn't worry about too much cloud cover, as it can still do the job! Then using AI (Artificial Intelligence) and atmospheric modelling it can predict your grass growth in the short & longer term.

We discuss the benefits this can bring, not just in the consistency and availability of information but also the time this can on farm.

Out now! Our latest podcast!

Today we talk with Willem Puddy & Phillip Kirkpatrick from Old Mill about succession, wills & keeping the farm running!

When was the last time you reviewed the succession plan on your farm? When did all the partners, across the different generations, sit down and discuss the plan for the business to continue across the generations?

Its a difficult topic that nobody ever enjoys talking about as ultimately, it usually involves a death in the family, but if as much can be planned before that happens it makes the transition as smooth as possible.

While we mainly talk about the different tax implications, it also involves everyone knowing the current will, and also some of the little things often not spoken about like where are all the different water pipes, stop c***s or fuse boards?

Listen in as we discuss different planning options and scenarios for succession, as every business is different, and how the difficult topics of death & divorce can affect the outcome.

Available from your usual podcast supplier from now or direct from the ChewintheCud Ltd website.
