Farmers do an incredible job at caring for their sheep, but sometimes unforeseen issues arise, and the cause isn't always clear. We caught up with Dr. Michylla Seal, an experienced vet and Director of GenStock. She stresses the importance of consulting your local vet and explains the subsidies available for investigating stock deaths and illnesses. She also delves into case studies from her farm visits.
