S3 E5: The Growing Crisis in Large Animal Veterinary Care

In this important episode of the Roundwood Cheviot Farm Podcast, we discuss a topic that is becoming a serious concern for farmers across Ireland...the decline in large animal veterinary services in rural areas.

For generations, local vets were a vital part of farming communities, supporting livestock health, assisting with difficult births, and ensuring animal welfare standards were maintained. However, many areas are now experiencing a shortage of large animal vets, leaving farmers facing increasing challenges when urgent care is needed.

For farms like Roundwood Cheviot Farm, having reliable veterinary support is not just convenient...it is essential for responsible livestock management and animal welfare.

This episode highlights why protecting and supporting rural veterinary services is critical for the future of Irish farming.
