Services We Offer
Goat Health Planning
We create tailored health plans to suit your goalsโwhether you’re a first-time goat owner or an experienced smallholder looking to improve herd productivity. Plans can include:
- Nutrition advice
- Routine vaccinations
- Parasite control
- Husbandry procedures
- Breeding and kidding support
Disbudding & Dehorning
- Kids: Disbudding is ideally done between 2โ7 days of age under general anaesthetic by a vet.
- Adults: Dehorning may be necessary for safety or injury management, performed under sedation and local or general anaesthetic.
Both procedures can be carried out on-farm
Billy Goat Castration
Castration helps prevent unwanted matings, reduces aggression, and lessens odour. We perform surgical castration under local anaesthetic, with or without sedation depending on temperament.
Speak to one of our vets for more details.
Support for Smallholders
We know that smallholders often juggle multiple responsibilities. Our team is here to provide practical advice, flexible services, and ongoing supportโwhether you’re new to goat keeping or expanding your herd.
Goats can be sensitive and sometimes tricky to manage. Our vets understand their behaviour and physiology, offering calm, confident handling and clear guidance.
