24 Hour Emergency Care
When one of our cows went down unexpectedly, the John Day River Vet team was out to the ranch within the hour. They not only saved the cow but helped us set up a herd health plan that’s kept the whole operation running smoother. Their care and commitment are second to none.

FDA Antibiotic Rule Changes
Beginning June 11, 2023, the FDA has made all medically important antibiotics available only by prescription, and they will no longer be available over the counter.
To comply with state and federal laws, in order to prescribe antibiotics for livestock, we need to have seen that species of livestock within the last year.

Partnership You Can Trust
We don’t just treat animals, we build partnerships with producers. Our veterinarians take the time to understand your herd goals, operation type, and challenges, offering practical advice backed by years of large-animal experience.
When your herd thrives, your ranch does too. Let us help you keep both healthy for the long run.
