Testimonials

We changed to Evolution Farm Vets in 2010, initially because we had given them the chance to quote on our vet work and med supplies and they were the most competitive tender. We have stayed with them ever since because of their simply excellent service. They are always contactable for professional veterinary advice 24-7 and the communications and organisation of the practice/dispensary staff is the best we have ever experienced.

Tom King, Vortex Holsteins

They have helped us to improve all aspects of animal health and welfare on our unit during a time of rapid expansion by engaging with both family and farm staff in a friendly but professional way. We now have a much more pro-active approach to health issues, feel confident in the competitive pricing of medicines and really enjoy working with Sally and the dedicated team.

Tom King, Vortex Holsteins

We work closely with the progressive Evolution Farm Vet team on several shared clients and enjoy the positive, proactive approach they bring to the farms we're involved with.

Charlie King (nutritional consultant)

Very pleased with everything about the [Artificial Insemination] course - so glad I did it! Thank you Sally, you've been great!

Hatty Tucker

I wanted a vet who would listen to what I have to say. I tried Evolution in the first place because their medicine prices were competitive- and I hoped that the listening- bit would be ok. This time, it was. I especially like having one dedicated vet who gets to know my farm well. My vet knows what is happening on my farm at all times and this makes everything more smooth-running and stress-free.

Martin Greenway, Higher Vexford

"Lameness on our farm wasn’t terrible, but we struggled to keep on top of it due to other pressing issues. We were able to hand over the whole task to Evolution and they dealt with everything, from mobility scoring to identifying which cows to treat, to the trimming. It is one less thing to worry about when going through big changes on our farm."

Matt Hilton, Farm Manager, Finefarm Ltd

Really helpful to practice on the post mortem [pd scanning of] uteruses first and then 2 [scanning cows] practicals to consolidate learning. Visuals in the lecture notes also very helpful and speakers brilliant at answering questions and making sure we understood before moving on.
