Practical beef herd health from an independent farm practice
Vets who know beef farming in Pembrokeshire
Specialist Veterinary Care
Beef Overview
Beef production in Pembrokeshire spans suckler herds and finishing units, native breeds and continentals, store cattle and prime beef – and the veterinary support each farm needs is different.
Our farm team works with beef producers across the county, building the kind of close working relationship that allows us to give genuinely useful advice rather than generic guidance.
We take time to understand your system, your stock and your goals before we make any recommendations.
Our Services
What We Do
Breeding and fertility
Getting cows in calf efficiently is the foundation of a profitable suckler herd. We carry out pre-breeding examinations, investigate fertility problems and advise on bull management and synchronisation programmes where appropriate.
Calf health
Scour and respiratory disease in calves are among the most common and costly problems on beef farms. We can investigate outbreaks, review colostrum management and housing, and help you put prevention plans in place.
Disease control and vaccination
We help you understand your herd's disease status and design practical, cost-effective control plans – covering everything from BVD and IBR to clostridial disease and respiratory viruses.
Parasite management
Effective parasite control means using the right products at the right time – and avoiding the resistance problems that come from blanket treatment. We'll help you develop a targeted approach based on your system and your risk.
Herd health planning
A structured herd health plan means fewer surprises and better performance. We work with beef farms to build planned visit programmes that are built around your calendar and your production goals.
Emergency cover
Calvings, injuries, sudden illness – when you need us, our out-of-hours cover is handled entirely by our own vets. You'll know the voice on the phone and the face at the gate.
