Beef Cattle

We offer a range of services that can be tailored to your beef farm regardless of whether you run a suckler herd or rearing and finishing units; including vast experience with organic herds. Our aim is to ensure optimal herd health and fertility in order to maximise the health, welfare and productivity of your herd.

Bull Fertility Testing

It is important to ensure your bull is fully functioning and fit prior to the start of your service period to keep your calving block tight and prevent any unanticipated financial costs further down the line.

We can provide a full MOT health check – including semen examination and any other necessary tests for both existing and new bulls onto the farm. As well as pre purchase examinations for any potential new stock

Cow Fertility Visits and Breeding Advice

Routine fertility work in the suckler herd is often undervalued but can actually be invaluable. We are happy to provide assistance at a variety of levels including: after calving checks to check the cow is clean and cycling, treatment of problem cows and pregnancy diagnosis.

We are also able to advice of a wide variety of synchronisation and breeding programmes, as well as heifer pelvis measurements.

Herd Health Plans

We create individual herd health plans in order to meet the needs of your herd, as well as being up to the Red Tractor standards.

We provide annual antibiotics reviews and advice tailored towards lowering your medicines usage and costs through proactive preventative herd health.

This in turn helps to optimise growth rates and improve fertility performance. We have plenty of experience with disease accreditation schemes including Johnes and BVD, and can help with any other infectious disease issues.

Youngstock Management

We pride ourselves on being proactive when it comes to youngstock management as we realise the importance of getting the calves first few months right.

We can provide a variety of services dependant on your individual farm needs and what level of veterinary input you would like.

This can include: disbudding, castration, scoring, pneumonia and scour diagnostics, colostrum management and growth rates. We have been using the very successful calf tracker on the dairy side, and farmers have seen a multitude of benefits from being proactive with their youngstock.

TB Testing and Advice

We provide a flexible and efficient TB Testing service and have two dedicated, full time TB testers, Razvan and Jo.
