British Dairying Bulletin is published every month and is available on request and free of charge to all dairy farmers and herd managers in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is also available on subscription in either paper (posted to UK addresses) or digital format to those who wish to keep up to date with developments in dairy farming.
