Sheep & Beef

OUR APPROACH

We work with you to know your animals and your farm inside out.

You may think of Morrinsville as a prime dairy country, but there’s a history of sheep and beef farming in the area too. We understand what it’s like to farm the hillier country and the nuances of the land and environment that affect the performance of your flock or herd.

We don’t just fix sick animals. Our specific animal health calendars can be formulated for your stock to ensure important vaccines, drenches, and trace element supplements are not missed.

Our veterinarians can provide beef farmers with BVD eradication and control programmes, tailored for your farm, which can then increase pregnancy rates and decrease stock losses. We also give support around calf rearing, drenching, vaccinations, and our vets are masters at pregnancy diagnosis and reproduction. 

For our shepherds, keeping an eye on animal health parameters that influence optimal ewe performance, lamb survival and lamb performance is just one of the ways we work closely with you. We can also provide advice on parasite and disease management.

We always have our finger on the pulse so you can be assured we are providing up to date and accurate information for your farm and stock. By working with you to be proactive rather than reactive, you can ensure the prime health of your stock and optimal productivity.
