Farm Animals

Our team of vets cover approximately 300 farms over a large area which extends from the dairy farms oftheSolway Coast up to the hill farms of the North Lakeland Fells.

Farming is a major industry in our area and at Belle Vue Vets we strive to give an excellent, honest and reliableservice to our farmers whom we view as friends as well as clients.

We Provide:

• 24 hour emergency services - hardly a week will go by without one of the vets attending a middle of the night calving.
• Routine visits and examinations - during these visits we are happy to discuss any aspect of animal care as well as the case in question.
• Ultrasound pregnancy diagnosis and fertility scanning - we have 4 state of the art ultrasound scanners for cows, 3 of which do not require mains electricity. These enable us to detect pregnancies from 4 weeks of age and are an aid on the diagnosis of other conditions.
• Herd and flock health planning - this is becoming more important and ideal in many cases a necessity in modern day farming.
• Calf treatment pens - enable us to treat and monitor scoured calves by administering fluids intravenously.

• Ewe lambing/caesarian area - during the spring we are very busy with lambing and general sheep work. Our lambing area enables farmers to bring their sheep to us so we can operate in a clean, hygienic environment.

• AI courses - Alistair holds a diploma in bovine reproduction and is holding regular artificial insemination courses for farmers to attend.
