Production & Large Animal Care

At the Estherville Veterinary Clinic we value our agricultural roots and are proud to help our livestock producers. We understand that livestock production is not only a business but a way of life so we strive to help our farm families remain competitive. We work with all sizes of operations from commercial feedlots to individual 4H & FFA projects.

We provide individualized herd health programs based on your goals and herd history. Whether it’s administering annual vaccinations and processing calves or discussing neonatal care we are here to help. With an established valid client patient relationship (VCPR) we can easily provide certificates of veterinary inspection (health papers) and feed grade prescriptions or veterinary feed directives (VFD’s).
The Estherville Veterinary Clinic team understands the importance of a successful breeding season; having the right number of babies at the right time is vital to the success of the farming operation. To help you be successful we offer full breeding soundness exams on bulls/rams/bucks including semen evaluation. We also provide accurate pregnancy diagnosis with ultrasound technology allowing us to age the fetus and help best determine time of breeding.
In the event of birthing complications, we offer full obstetrical support for our production animal species. We are happy to help and will do our very best for mom and baby from adjusting a mispositioned fetus to the necessary emergency cesarian section.
