Boosting Herd Health and Productivity:

At West Ridge Veterinary Practice, we understand the importance of a healthy, productive beef herd. Whether you're rearing calves, managing suckler cows, or finishing cattle for market, our farm vets are here to support your goals with expert, practical care.

A Preventative Approach

Preventing disease is always better than treating it. Our proactive herd health planning helps reduce illness, improve performance, and save on long-term costs. From vaccination programmes to parasite control, we tailor plans specifically to your farm, your cattle, and your challenges.

Youngstock Management

Strong, healthy calves are the foundation of every successful beef herd. We offer expert guidance on colostrum management, growth rates, nutrition, and housing to give your youngstock the best start in life.

Fertility & Breeding Support

We know that reproductive performance is key to profitability. Our vets provide fertility monitoring, bull testing, synchronisation programmes, and pregnancy diagnosis to help maximise breeding success and reduce calving intervals.

Disease Investigation & Emergency Support

If your herd faces a sudden health issue, we're here to help. We offer on-farm diagnostic support, post-mortems, and lab testing to get to the root of problems quickly. Our 24/7 emergency service means you'll always have a vet when you need one most.

Data-Driven Decisions

Using herd data helps make smarter management choices. Whether it’s performance recording or health benchmarking, we’ll help you interpret the numbers and implement practical improvements.

Supporting You Year-Round

With decades of experience across Devon, our team is committed to delivering reliable, professional service to beef producers. We're not just here when things go wrong—we're here to help you thrive.
