🚨 Cattle Owner Reminder 🚨

If you’re going to own cattle, you must have a safe and reliable way to catch and restrain them. This could be:
✔️ A proper handling facility (chute, headgate, alley)
✔️ A loading setup to take them to a clinic or another facility

Cattle aren’t pets! They’re large, powerful animals, and when it comes to health checks, vaccinations, or emergencies, being able to safely handle them isn’t optional. It protects:
🐄 The cattle (less stress, proper care)
👩‍⚕️ The people working with them (vet, owner, family)
🌱 The operation (efficiency, safety, peace of mind)

👉 Bottom line: If you don’t have the facilities, make sure you have a plan to transport your animals to someone who does. Good animal care starts with good animal handling.

Are you looking to turn your horned calf into a show calf? Get on the schedule for a cosmetic dehorn!

Why do we do them & what are the benefits?

Cosmetic dehorning results in quick recovery time with skin closure there will be less of a chance for sinus infections to occur. This type of dehorning is typically done with show animals wanting a more aesthetic appearance. See the before and after transformation of a cosmetic dehorn. Cosmetic dehorns, if done correctly are a very safe and much needed procedure... not only for the safety of the other cattle around them but for the showman. We recommend doing them post-weaning and not during breaking. This procedure is Dr. Boyd’s specialty. Call or message us to get scheduled!

📍 Haul in Location: 711 Gerrardstown Rd, Gerrardstown, WV 25420
