Frequently Asked Questions

What services do cattle vets provide?

Cattle veterinarians offer a wide range of services including herd health consultations, pregnancy diagnosis, breeding soundness exams, C-sections, vaccination programs, deworming, nutrition consulting, and emergency care. Many also perform USDA health certificates for interstate and international movement of cattle.

Do cattle vets make farm calls?

Yes — most large animal vets who treat cattle offer mobile or ambulatory services, meaning they travel to your farm or ranch. This is especially common in rural areas. Use the "Mobile / Farm Calls" filter on any county page to find vets who come to you.

How often should cattle see a vet?

At minimum, cattle should receive annual vaccinations and deworming checks. Beef and dairy producers often schedule seasonal herd health visits 2–4 times per year for pregnancy checks, prebreeding exams, and biosecurity reviews. Sick or injured animals should be seen immediately.

What is the difference between a food animal vet and a mixed-practice vet?

A food animal exclusive vet works only with livestock (cattle, swine, goats, sheep, etc.) and does not treat companion animals. A mixed-practice vet sees both livestock and pets. Both can provide excellent cattle care — the distinction matters mainly for scheduling and specialist depth.

How do I find a USDA accredited cattle vet?

USDA accredited vets are authorized to issue Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (health certificates) required for interstate or international cattle movement and for official disease testing. Use the "USDA Accredited" filter in FarmVetGuide, or browse our /usda-accredited-vets/ directory page.
