About us
Highgate Veterinary Clinic is a seven vet practice with the
work split equally between farm and companion animals.
We believe in giving the best service we can and our highly
motivated, friendly and specialised team deliver a modern and
progressive service to our clients.
Dairy farms form the majority of our farm work, but we also
work closely with our beef and sheep clients.
Vets in the practice take part in all aspects of our work;
however we all have special clinical interests.
All vets and nurses attend regular training courses, enabling us
to give the best treatment and latest advice.

Farm Services
We offer a range of services to our farm clients, and in recognition
of the fact that all farms are different we offer a choice of ways to
pay for services and medicines to suit individual requirements, see
farm contracts
for details.
Disease diagnosis and treatment
An obvious service but we pride ourselves in doing this well and giving
the best treatment and advice based on financial and welfare considerations.
Herd & flock health planning
Not just an exercise in paperwork! We regularly review issues on farm and
advise on solutions e.g. mastitis control. We use DairyCo Mastitis Control
Plan, Sainsbury's herd health planning, and Mark is registered to use RDPE
North West Livestock Programme which is a prerequisite for gaining certain
grant funding.
Lameness
All our farm vets are interested in treating and preventing lameness in livestock.
Nutrition
We work closely with farm nutritionists and other advisors to keep cow health
at an optimum.
Routine fertility visits
Charged at hourly rate, if fortnightly the visit charge is waived.
Semen testing
Bull and ram semen testing using electro-ejaculators
Professional Semex AI courses
Comprehensive 4-day training courses, scheduled to fit in around milking
