Progressive Solutions for your Dairy Farm’s needs.

Herd Consulting

Agwest Veterinary Group is a collaborative team of dairy professionals. Our group has the knowledge, expertise, experience, and resources to effectively assess your herd and offer recommendations to assist you with your farm. We strive to help you achieve your goals.

Herd Health Management

The goal of Agwest’s Herd Health Management programs is to ensure the optimal care of the dairy herd. We aim to work with the farm to maximize the herd’s health and productivity. Our programs are designed to suit the needs of each individual farm that we work with. We recognize that farms have unique needs, therefore, we work with the farm management to set performance goals. We then work cooperatively with the farm over time to meet these goals by structuring a program that includes regularly scheduled veterinary visits and incorporates many of the core services listed here.
