With calving now over for another year, let's look at the numbers!

This season (2025-26), between July and November, we were called out to assist with a total 624 calvings. Of these, 612 were for dairy cows and 12 were for beef cows.

In the same period of the 2024-25 season, we were called out to assist with 613 calvings. Of these, 600 were for dairy cows and 13 were for beef cows.

In the 2023-24 season, we were called out to assist with 665 calvings – 650 for dairy cows and 15 for beef cows.

Interestingly, this season we have undertaken 46 caesarean sections, compared to only 9 last season.

An epic story from calving this season: Vet Ben attended an assisted calving call-out and ended up helping with 13 calvings one cold night back in July! A massive effort from all involved.
