We firmly believe that herd health is a foundation for profitable beef production. This is why our Angus, Shorthorn, and Commercial herds all share the same health status.
We are members of the SAC Premium Cattle Health Scheme (PCHS). The Scheme is organised and supervised by the Veterinary Services of the Scottish Agricultural College in partnership with practising veterinary surgeons.
We routinely test cattle entered for sales for BVD, Leptospirosis and IBR prior to leaving the farm. In addition, and for our customer’s protection and reassurance, sale cattle are subsequently vaccinated for BVD, Leptospirosis, and IBR (with a marker vaccine).
We are happy to undertake export qualifying tests for overseas clients if required. We can also undertake tests to satisfy domestic customers herd health requirements if necessary.
We have focused on Johne’s since re-establishing the herds in 2002. We have over 5000 Johne’s results in our database which help us select heifers with low susceptibility to the disease.
We are BVD accredited and have a herd vaccination policy.
All sale animals are tested for IBR and the results declared.
The Chapelton herds are in a four-yearly testing area for TB.
