Who to talk toSeptember — Tupping, Fluke and Getting Ready to House
What we are being asked for at the counter right now. Updated at the start of every month.
Six Weeks to Tupping
Condition and trace element status now decide the scanning percentage. Cobalt, iodine and selenium are the usual gaps on Scottish ground — copper is the one to be careful with.
Pre-tupping mineralsFluke Risk Is Building
After a wet summer this is the one that turns a good year into a poor one. Which product depends on the stage of fluke, not the brand — worth asking before you buy.
Fluke drenchesBefore the Cattle Come In
Housing is when fluke, lice and clostridial cover get sorted, and when a shed problem you have lived with all summer becomes a daily one.
Cattle housingVentilation, Before You Need It
Pneumonia in housed cattle is usually an air problem before it is a bug problem. We survey sheds and fit ventilation and weather protection.

Most agricultural merchants stop at the invoice. McCaskie Engineering designs, installs, commissions and services farm systems from our base at Springkerse in Stirling.
Robotic Milking
Fullwood Merlin². Exclusive Scottish dealer, and the only make of robot we service — because we would rather know one properly.
Milking equipmentSlurry Robots
JOZ Barn-E and JOZ-tech. A clean floor is a lameness decision, not a tidiness one.
SlurryVentilation & Weather
Hydor fans and Galebreaker screens. The cheapest pneumonia treatment is air.
VentilationThe People, Not the Website
Every merchant claims expert advice. Ours have qualifications you can check and names you can ask for.
SQPs on Every Counter
Every one of our field representatives is a qualified SQP, and so are most of the staff behind the counters. Whoever you get is qualified to advise on and supply animal medicines — you are not waiting for the one person who knows.
