Cattle

We have excellent haul-in facilities for various large animal surgical procedures and the processing of large groups of cattle. Our updated tub and alley equipment allows for a smoother flow of animals throughout our facility. We are able to fit large/pregnant cows and bulls in our alley. Our hydraulic chute can hold small calves to large bulls. We can also take and record weights for accurate medication dosing. If your cow or bull are having lameness issues, we also have a hydraulic tilt table to safely examine and trim feet.

We can also come out to your farm to process calves, pregnancy check cows, and treat sick cattle. You can request that the veterinarian also bring along a veterinary technician if you need any extra help. Veterinary Technicians can administer vaccinations/antibiotics, implant, tag, run the headgate, etc. We also have a portable tub with alleyway and two portable chutes available to rent or to have the veterinarian bring out on farm calls.
