Cattle Services
We offer a progressive, systematic approach to beef production for your cow/calf herds. Our Herd Health Program begins at breeding soundness exam to pregnancy palpations to birth, calf vaccinations & parasite control, to sale. This includes nutritional consulting, heat synchronization, Trichomoniasis testing for bulls, customized preventative vaccinations, pelvic measuring replacement heifers and bulls, etc. You can bring your cattle here or we can come to your farm if you have a chute. We'd appreciate at least 4 days notice so we can get any pharmaceuticals ordered in. Yes, we still offer post-purchase cattle work- you'll need to bring them via trailer. Emergencies can be seen anytime day or night.
