Within our team of highly motivated and experienced mixed practitioners, we have several Farm animal only vets. In addition, we have individual vets with areas of special interest and knowledge: this includes cattle lameness, nutrition, fertility and mastitis as well as sheep medicine and animal welfare.

All our farm vets have extensive knowledge of both the farming systems and have formed strong links within the rural communities within our practice area.
