The trainings include a theoretical part in the form of a presentation, and a practical part based on everyday…

Poland | Monthly report July | Voivodship Swietokrzyskie | Farm Animal Service

Ziegen sind keine häufigen Kunden unseres Teams.

In July our farriers visited 25 farms. They trimmed hooves of 33 horses, several goats and claws of 3 cows. In most of the cases, our team was called to lame animals.

Poland | Bodzentyn | Cattle market

Today our team is inspecting the cattle market in Bodzentyn. There is much more animals than last time. We count about 600 animals. Half of them are young. We suspect it is because the subsidies were paid and farmers want to dispose of the animals. We notice one trader who wants to sell several very young calves. Some of them look very skinny, some…

In the afternoon, we drive to the estancia “La Paloma” of blood farmer Roberto Mailhos. We only see very few horses on the pastures next to the access road, where we saw more than 200 horses on our visit last year. Close to the estancia, we observe a mare standing next to her new-born foal that is lying in the grass. Besides them, there is a very…
