Hazell Mullins: New year vaccinations. Don't let the cold snap derail good intentions

Hazell Mullins works out her three-month plan for vaccinations on the farm

Plan out your vaccine calendar to ensure they are ordered in time and given at the correct time of year.

Last week's New Year themes article helped me to focus on what I want this year to look like, out with the unachievable resolutions and in with achievable themes for 2025. 

One thing that can very much interfere with goals on the farm is the weather, the uncontrollable Irish climate, Jack Frost is certainly making his mark this week. At first in Carrignavar I was disappointed with the lack of snow we had compared with other parts of the country but within a few hours, the farm was like a glistening white carpet. The fairytale soon ends and reality hits of how difficult these conditions make farming.
