With great sadness we need to inform you that Agnes Winter passed away in early December 2025.

I know many of you knew well, had worked with Agnes or been taught by her. She was a fantastic member of our profession and had inspired many, me very much included. We were delighted that Agnes was at Sheep Veterinary Society autumn conference in Llandrindod this September.

She will be forever remembered as one of the trailblazers for female farm vets and sheep vets in the UK and around the world.

There will be more tributes and celebrations of her life to follow. For now, RIP Agnes Winter BVSc PhD DSHP DipECSRHM FRAgS FRCVS
