I am seeking someone keen to develop their skills in all facets of mixed practice, especially cattle and horse medicine and surgery.

Practice case load is approx. 25% beef cattle, 25% dairy cattle, 15% equine, 30% dogs and the odd cat. The surgery is well equipped with most of the usual gear, including ultrasounds, in-house pathology, doppler, pulse ox, x-ray, stabling facilities, etc. Because we are a bit removed from the major cities, we get to do most of the interesting stuff that otherwise gets referred away. The nurses are all qualified to Cert. III level. And very competent.

The main objective of the practice is to do the best work possible and offer our clients excellent value through good service.

There are numerous areas for development that need exploring including embryo transfer, mare artificial breeding, horse dentistry and stuff I have not even thought of!
