Our principal aim is to make reliable information on sheep health available to clients and owners in a way which will enable them to make effective use of veterinary services.

The site is managed and edited by veterinarians with combined experience of sheep and the sheep industry spanning more than half a century- who are regularly examining individual sheep and flocks.

If you are a sheep farmer (herder, rancher, producer or shepherd- depending where you are in the world) we would be delighted to hear from you. We will try to answer simple animal health questions, but please allow up to seven days for a reply.

For substantial professional advice including on diagnosis and treatment, we recommend you contact your own veterinarian.

Austbreed International Veterinary Consultants or

Please be aware that Austbreed or Sheepvet are only able to prescribe or supply restricted medicines for animals in accordance with Australian & local laws- which may require us to work in conjunction with local veterinarians.
