As N&W Livestock are not veterinary professionals, we do not provide veterinary services. However, we collaborate closely with qualified livestock vets to deliver preventative and supportive care for all large animals.
At N&W Livestock, animal care is our passion and way of life. We offer in-person services for NSW customers and are experienced in raising orphaned calves and managing a variety of livestock, including cattle, sheep, goats, alpacas, pigs, poultry, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, and rabbits. We’re always happy to share our knowledge and expertise.
N&W Livestock offers on-farm animal husbandry support, training, and guidance for day-to-day livestock care. Our services include birthing assistance, nutritional advice, parasite management, drenching, vaccinations, supplements, fluid therapy, and preventative care for neonates. We also carry most emergency supplies for immediate use.
Our team is available 24/7 to assist with livestock care. We charge a call-out fee, travel costs, and for any required supplies. Contact the team by clicking on the link below.
Consultations provide livestock husbandry guidance, demonstrations, and basic animal care services. Note: Products used will be charged separately.
A one-way travel fee applies to all on-farm call-outs, with distance calculated from Whites Road, Glenorie using the most direct route on Google Maps.
Nate has been very helpful & knowledgeable in assisting us to look after our flock.
He takes the worry out of caring for your livestock and makes testing for worms, treating and managing their health a breeze.
We’re lucky to have him locally in Glenorie.
Thanks !! We couldn’t do it without you.
I can’t recommend Nate and the team highly enough, lots of great advice and without his intervention I would have lost my entire herd. Now they are thriving and ready to put onto pasture.
Thanks so much Nate and team
Nate was wonderful when we had an emergency with one of our sheep late one night.
He came quickly and was so thorough and caring.
He has happily imparted his knowledge and given his time generously.
Thanks Nate!
