WelFarm | Looking ahead to 2026

As we head into 2026, we want to say a genuine thank you to our clinic partners for your continued support of WelFarm.

We’ve been working behind the scenes on the next round of WelFarm app improvements, focused on smoother performance, better usability, and making it easier to capture and use data in real time. These updates are designed to support busy clinic teams and improve the experience for both vets and farmers.

📱 Updated app release: mid-February (more details and guidance coming soon).

***Planning for the year ahead – your input matters***
We’re also planning short, practical Lunch & Learn sessions in 2026, covering topics like:
* Getting more value from WelFarm data
* Using the app efficiently in-clinic and on-farm
* Animal wellbeing measures
* Supporting farmer requirements with confidence

To shape these sessions around what’s genuinely useful for your team, we’d really appreciate your input via a 5-minute survey (open until 31 January).

Great read

Weaning is one of the most important milestones in a calf’s life. Get it right, and you’re setting them up for strong lifetime performance. 💪

Here are a few key things to remember:
✅ Wean on weight & rumen development, not age
✅ Feed a high-quality meal + always provide fresh water
✅ Have a parasite plan in place
✅ Offer leafy pasture and reduce stress
✅ Keep weighing calves to track progress

👉 Take home: Successful weaning isn’t just about removing milk, it’s about balancing nutrition, parasite control, and stress management so your calves grow into strong, productive cows.

Great read by Franklin Vets Farm Services! 👍

As calving season kicks off, it's a great time to revisit key calf care practices. These include—but aren’t limited to—the three Q’s of colostrum management, proper navel care, early access to hay and meal, disbudding between 2–8 weeks of age, and timely vaccinations.
