As a mixed practice, cattle care remains a significant part of our professional focus. Much of our bovine work is seasonal, serving cow-calf producers, with a concentration on calving issues, fertility testing for bulls in the spring, and pregnancy diagnosis in the fall. Over time, the industry has shifted away from traditional "emergency" medicine and moved toward a more herd health-focused approach. Now, our attention is less on individual animals and more on overall herd health, collaborating closely with clients on protocols for vaccination, parasite control, nutrition, and fertility. We also analyze records to help identify areas for improving profitability.

Additionally, several members of our team have specialized interests in areas such as embryo transfer, ultrasound, and feedlot medicine. Outside of regular hours, our veterinarians are equipped to handle traditional emergency cases like dystocia during calving, uterine prolapses, and neonatal care.

The majority of our bovine obstetrical cases are treated at the clinic, as we encourage clients to bring in animals when possible. This helps streamline care and ensure we have the necessary equipment readily available. Some cases, such as uterine prolapses, are typically treated on-farm, and breeding soundness exams and pregnancy diagnoses are also mostly performed on-site.
