Dairy & Beef
At Langford Vets, we understand the unique challenges and demands faced by dairy and beef farmers. With a dedicated team of experienced veterinarians, we offer a comprehensive clinical and advisory service tailored to meet the specific needs of your farm.
Our primary goal is to ensure the health and well-being of your livestock while maximising productivity and profitability. Whether you require emergency cover or seek to implement proactive herd health programs, we are here to support you every step of the way.
We passionately believe that prevention is better than cure. That is why we emphasise the importance of herd health plans and regular farm visits to detect and address any potential issues at the earliest stage possible. By working closely with you, we aim to minimise disease on your farm and optimise the performance of your herd.
In addition to providing essential veterinary care, we also offer guidance to help you meet the requirements of your milk contracts while remaining cost-effective. Our commitment to continuity of care means that you can count on us to develop long-term partnerships that benefit both your farm and your animals.
At Langford Vets, your success is our priority. Contact us today to learn more about how we can support your farm's health and productivity goals, or how becoming a ‘teaching partnership farm’ could help your business.
