Cattle & Beef Services
Real Relationships. Real Results. Genuine Care that Delivers Value and Performance.
At Aorangi Vets, our veterinary services for sheep and beef farms are focused on sustainable, progressive production with a strong commitment to value and reliability. We understand the key drivers behind farm performance, and with the support of evolving science, we help you plan and prevent health challenges before they impact your productivity.
Herd Health
Our vets monitor herd health and provide preventative care, including vaccinations and regular health checks, to minimise disease risk and maximise herd performance.
As part of this, our comprehensive Animal Health Plan programme ensures your herd’s needs are anticipated and met throughout the year. An annual on farm review with your vet keeps your plan up to date and tailored to your operation, giving you better results and lasting value through proactive management.
Reproduction and Nutrition
We support calving, reproduction, and nutrition strategies to help you improve herd fertility, growth rates, and overall productivity.

Further Services
Bulls Testing
Ensuring your bulls are capable of serving cows effectively is critical before mating starts. An underperforming bull can be costly, so we provide professional Mating Ability Testing to give you confidence in your breeding team. Our vets are trained to carry out these tests to the highest standard, helping ensure your herd has healthy, capable bulls ready for mating.
Pregnancy Scanning
Our vets use the latest ultrasound technology combined with extensive training to provide a pregnancy scanning service that is both efficient and highly accurate, allowing you to make informed management decisions that improve herd fertility, optimise resources, and enhance overall productivity.
M. Bovis Testing
Our experienced team of vets and technicians can carry out both tasked and voluntary M. bovis testing with efficiency and precision. While on-farm, we can also collect samples for additional testing, including trace elements and Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD), providing you with a comprehensive herd health overview and supporting informed management decisions.
Animal Health Plans
We create a 12-month plan tailored to your herd or flock, designed to meet your goals and keep your animals healthy. These plans are particularly useful for farms managing multiple species, helping coordinate care across the system. An annual review lets you reflect on the past year and set the right steps for the year ahead, while your laminated wall planner and timely email reminders help keep your animal health program on track.
Audit Requirements
Our practice management system, together with Restricted Veterinary Medicines (RVM) documentation, is designed to support compliance and make audits simpler and more efficient. By keeping records accurate and up to date, we help you stay prepared and confident when meeting regulatory requirements.
Animal Health Investigations
When animal health issues arise, our team is experienced in investigating both individual animals and entire herds. We respond promptly to urgent situations and draw on our expertise, team experience, and national and international veterinary networks to identify causes and solutions. Our approach ensures herd productivity is maintained while achieving the highest standards of animal welfare.
