Dairy Farm Support
Dairy Overview
Pembrokeshire dairy farming takes many forms. Large, intensive units. Spring-calving, grass-based systems. Autumn-calving herds. Organic farms. Year-round conventional calving. Each has its own challenges, its own rhythms and its own priorities.
Nutrition, fertility and attention to welfare form the bedrock of successful milk production in every system – but the approach needs to fit your farm, not a generic template.
Our farm team has spent decades working across Pembrokeshire's dairy herds. We understand the landscape, the production systems and the economic pressures facing local farms.
That means the advice we give is grounded in real knowledge of how dairy farming works here.
Our Services
What We Do
Herd health planning
We work with dairy farms on structured health plans covering fertility, mastitis control, lameness, youngstock health and disease prevention. Planned visits, clear targets and honest reviews of what's working.
Fertility management
Submission rates, conception rates, empty rates – fertility drives profitability more than almost anything else on a dairy farm. We carry out routine fertility work, review your data and help you set and achieve realistic goals.
Mastitis and milk quality
We take a systematic approach to mastitis control: reviewing your SCC and bactoscan data, investigating problem cows, assessing your milking routine and facilities, and helping you hit your targets.
Lameness investigation
Lameness has a significant impact on fertility, milk yield and cow welfare. We can carry out mobility scoring, investigate cases, review housing and surfaces, and support your team with treatment protocols.
Youngstock health
The decisions you make in the first weeks of a calf's life have a lasting impact on its performance as a cow. We focus on colostrum management, housing, nutrition and respiratory disease prevention to give your youngstock the best start.
Emergency call-outs
When things go wrong, we're there. Our out-of-hours cover is handled entirely by our own farm vets – so it's a familiar face at your gate, any time of the day or night.
