Longer, Happier Lives

Starts with routine veterinary care.

Sound animal husbandry practices significantly impact cattle’s wellbeing and increase herd productivity. Our Endless Mountains Veterinary Center team provides several services to ensure your herd remains healthy and productive. Bovine

Every cattle operator should consult with a veterinarian to establish a specific preventive herd health program to help determine the disease control strategies and vaccines that should be implemented to protect their herd. Each farm is different and has unique considerations to achieve herd health, so our veterinary professionals take into account your operation’s nutritional resources, genetics, management style, facilities, disease history, neighboring herds, and environmental conditions when they devise an appropriate preventive health program for your herd. Preventive Consultations

Comprehensive Herd Care

Good preventive care practices include:

  • Management — We can help you determine infectious, metabolic, and toxic disease risk to your herd and develop an effective management program.
  • Health — Our team will help you recognize common health problems, and know how to address them.

  • Veterinary intervention — When preventive measures don’t work, we are available to  diagnose and treat a variety of issues affecting individual animals or the entire herd.

Regulatory Work

As United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)-accredited veterinarians, we help coordinate your cattle transportation, which involves carefully evaluating your animals for health problems and working with state and federal regulatory agencies to assure all regulations are obeyed. This ensures you won't encounter obstacles when transporting your animals and helps protect animal health and prevent disease spread.

Beef Herd Processing

Beef cattle's needs change as they age, and our team provides appropriate care for these animals at every life stage, including cow-calf, backgrounding, and finishing stages. We can help you customize a herd health management program that will keep your beef herd healthy throughout the entire process.

Proper nutrition and feed management are essential for a healthy cattle operation. Feeding cattle a healthy, balanced diet and providing plenty of clean water is crucial for herd health and productivity. Nutritional requirements vary according to the cattle’s age, sex, weight, breed, weather, body condition, and production stage, and we provide nutritional consultation to help determine best management for your herd’s nutritional requirements. Nutrition

General Recommendations

  • Providing forage needs — You should match forage quality and quantity to the cattle’s nutritional needs, and perform a nutrient analysis on harvested forages to accurately determine how much is required to meet the National Research Council (NRC) recommendations.
  • Balancing the diet — You should balance the protein and energy in the diet to maintain the desired body score for each animal’s production stage. In addition, vitamins and minerals should be added, if necessary, to compensate for deficient trace minerals.
  • Managing the diet for pregnant and lactating cows — Pregnant and lactating cows have unique nutritional needs that depend on factors such as lactation, reproductive state, and colostrum production.
