When you haul your cattle into us, we only use the best. Our Silencer hydraulic chute is known to fit almost any size of cattle you bring. We also now have a hydraulic adjustable Daniels Manufacturing alleyway made to adjust to big bulls or small calves. For those calves too small, we do have a calf alleyway and table for spring time work. If hoof care is what you're looking for, we do have an electric tilt table for easier handling.

Too many to haul in? Don't worry we can come to you. We have three different styles of portable chutes for all your cattle working needs. Our go to is a standard Pearson style that can adjust to calves or cows. We also have a scale chute, if you're looking for weights. And for branding time we have a Powder River style table for you to safely and swiftly get your calves ready for pasture.

Processing
Processing is a service mostly pertaining to cattle. We offer our services to help quickly and efficiently move your cattle through the chute and back out to the pen. Our typical processing involves castration, vaccination, deworming, implants, and branding(optional). Our work can either be done in clinic or at your facilities, whichever works better for your herd. We bring all necessary equipment, products, and help.

Hospitalization
Mostly used during calving season for baby calves, our "ICU" is a climate controlled room used to separate sick calves from healthy ones. This process typically involves IV catheters, fluids, antibiotics and feedings. Although, we do hospitalize other animals and they are typically kept in a stall in a different barn to avoid cross contamination.

Nutrition & Ration Analysis
When it comes to feeding your animals, there's more to it then just some grass and water. The health of your livestock can depend a lot on their nutrition. We offer basic cow/calf(and other species) nutrition consultation to find the right feed system for your operation. We can assist with feed testing, formulate a ration using Iowa State Software program, and help with mineral decisions. Sometimes your herd may need an antibiotic additive, which we carry in house along with different types of mineral.

Palpation & Ultrasound Pregnancy Diagnosis
Preg checking your herd is one of the most profitable options for raising livestock. By preg checking and finding opens this will eliminate feeding an open animal and increase profitability in your herd. We offer two different ways to preg check your herd. First is by palpation which is the most commonly used in cattle. Second is the ultrasound method. Ultrasound is a great option for early pregnancy detection and is best utilized when the animal is in the early stages of gestation. For some species, ultrasound is the only option.
