MerlinVet & Numnuts at the Royal Highland Show 2025

June 17, 2025
MerlinVet and Numnuts® will be exhibiting at The Royal Highland Show 2025 at Ingliston in Edinburgh from Thursday 19th – Sunday 22nd June 2025. You’ll be able to find us amongst the sheep in the NSA Marquee, Avenue M, Stand 1B.

After a fantastic turnout at the NSA Highland Sheep in Ardgay, it will be great to see as many new and familiar faces as possible at RHS 2025. Come along to the Numnuts® stand to have a go on Baaaary, our Demo Lamb, or alternatively try to guess the number of rings in the jar to win a Numnuts® device and, while you’re there, feel free to pick up some Numnuts branded merch.

What is Numnuts?

This device makes giving fast-acting targeted pain relief for castration and tail docking of lambs easy, fast, and safe. No other device exists that allows farmers and vets to provide targeted pain relief to lambs during tail docking and castration.
