Kaipara Farm Vets are excited to announce Melanie Palmer - Our New Vet who has joined the KFV team for the start of 2025.

Introducing Melanie:

I have recently returned to the area after spending a year at Massey University teaching the final year vet students. Farm vet by heart and trade for 8 years with a passion for goats and dairy cows. I am eager to help you with your lifestyle block, having gained some experience with alpaca and sheep.
Personally, I am a bit of a hobby farmer just having started my own stud herd of Nigerian Dwarf milking goats. You would have seen me around with my brightly coloured hair and/or colourful gumboots, as well as a cute little Italian greyhound or 6 at the beach.

🐄 Protect Your Herd from Drench Resistance! 🐄

Drenching is crucial for keeping your cattle healthy, but did you know that improper use of drenches can lead to drench resistance? This means the drench becomes less effective over time, putting your herd—and your livelihood—at risk. 😟

At Kaipara Farm Vets, we offer quality animal health plans that incorporate unique parasite management protocols tailored to your farming operation. By regularly testing your cattle and choosing the right drench for the job, you can ensure that your herd stays healthy and productive.

And here’s some good news: We’re more price-competitive than ever! You don’t have to compromise on quality or effectiveness to get great value for your money. 💰

Let’s work together to protect your investment and keep your cattle thriving.
