Services We Offer

Goat Health Planning

We create tailored health plans to suit your goals—whether 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 2–7 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 support—whether 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.
