200 seems to be a figure they agreed among themselves, same as I was charged but I'll get it back as he's very reasonable to charge

Paid €120. Vet came out and went through all sheds checking ventilation, looked at all calves in the field and I found it good. He also said he will call in some day when autumn calving is done and cattle are in to see the set up regarding ventilation when cattle are in. I thought he wasn't too dear.
He did tell me that it will be poor value for many as lots of lads are not engaging with the process or are taking recommendations as personal criticism.

Same as, I found it very good.
We went through all sheds & issues of last few years & calving pattern, aims for farm & different measures we can do together, e.g. Blood & faecal sampling
