AN important meeting is to be held in the Vale of Clwyd early next month.

Farming Connect has organised an event in Ruthin, which will look at eradicating Johne's from the herd.

This will take place at Ruthin Livestock Market on October 3.

Farmers will have the opportunity to join Farming Connect and Dr Mo Kemp, from the Wern Veterinary Group, to discuss Johne’s disease in cattle.

Points covered will be symptoms, prevention, testing and the effect of the disease on the herd.

There will be a chance for those present to catch up with their local Farming Connect development officer, while there will be a buffet available during the evening.

The event will run between 7.30 and 9.30pm on October 3 and further information is available from Gwion Parry on 01248 660373 or gwion.parry@menterabusnes.co.uk
