Livestock

Welcome to Mansfield Veterinary Clinic, your trusted partner in livestock healthcare. Our team of experienced veterinarians and staff are committed to providing the highest quality of care for livestock animals, both for commercial producers and hobby farmers. We offer a comprehensive range of livestock services that can be carried out on-farm or at our clinic yard facilities.

Livestock and farming has formed a big part of the high country heritage, but as we see a shift from large commercial farms to smaller hobby farms, we have been changing our services to provide for everyone.
