Healthy Herds
Herd Health Overview
Good farm animal health doesn't happen by accident. It comes from planning, from understanding your herd, your land and your goals – and from having a vet who knows all three.
Our approach to herd health is built around prevention rather than reaction. We work with you to identify the issues that cost your business the most – whether that's fertility, mastitis, lameness, youngstock losses or something else entirely – and put practical plans in place to address them.
The result is healthier animals, lower medicine costs and a farm that's better positioned for the long term.
Our Services
What's Included
Regular planned visits
We schedule visits around your calendar and your production system – not ours. Whether you're spring calving, year-round or anything in between, we build a programme that fits.
Fertility reviews
Fertility is one of the biggest drivers of profitability in both dairy and beef herds. We carry out routine fertility work, review your submission and conception rates and help you set and achieve realistic targets.
Disease control planning
From BVD and IBR to Johne's and respiratory disease in youngstock, we'll help you understand your herd's disease status and put cost-effective control measures in place.
Vaccination programmes
We'll design a vaccination schedule that makes sense for your system and your risk profile – not a one-size-fits-all template.
Mastitis and milk quality
For dairy farms, mastitis control is central to what we do. We review your data, walk your facilities, investigate problem cows and help you hit your SCC and bactoscan targets.
Youngstock health
Getting youngstock off to the best possible start has a lasting impact on performance. We focus on colostrum management, housing, ventilation and early disease prevention.
Benchmarking and KPIs
We help you track the metrics that matter and compare your performance against realistic targets, so you can see clearly where you're improving and where there's still work to do.
Working With You
Herd health planning works best when it's a genuine partnership. We come to you, we ask the right questions and we take the time to understand your business before we make any recommendations.
All of our farm directors have spent the majority of their careers in Pembrokeshire. That means we understand the local landscape, the local challenges and the farms themselves – not just in theory, but from years of working alongside them.
