In this newsletter, there are details on XLVets' new initiative Calf Tracker - which is designed to help you optimise the health and performance of your calves, plus articles on mineral deficiencies, and Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs).

Our vet Max Hardy is also recommending that shoots review the season they have just had, and consider their game bird management and health.
