The team comprises seven farm vets, three ATT, and a veterinary technician, all passionate about delivering proactive, high-quality care across beef, sheep, and dairy. They provide innovation, collaboration, and support, embracing novel herd health planning, preventative medicine, and progressive clinical approaches.

Benefits include:
