Farm Animals

Have you ever dreamed of one day owning a farm? Well, owning some livestock can give you the same rewarding feeling. Livestock consists of animals such as cows, pigs, sheep, goats, donkeys, horses, and mules. Whether you want an animal to provide you with fresh eggs in the morning or one to ride through your pasture, livestock animals are your best bet to give you what you are looking for. 

Choosing what livestock to raise relies heavily on how much space you have, if they need fencing, how much they eat, state and local property laws, and more. You should also consider what type of veterinary care your livestock will require to avoid the spread of diseases and external parasites. Your veterinarian can recommend the best vaccinations for your livestock so they stay as healthy as possible. Continue to the articles below to learn how you should care for each livestock animal.

Testimonials

Read What Our Clients Say

  • "First vet for my first pet! It is a really wonderful experience. They have really lovely staff members and even take us to tour in their really fantastic clinic!They have different room for different animal so they can feel great without other pet smell. We see that they pay a lot of attention on our puppy and give a lot of great advise for me as a new owner and we are really surprise that when we use the little tricks that the doctor told us, our little puppy feels nothing when she's doing her shots! My puppy even give the doctor a high five after the shoot is done! We can see all their staff members love animal and we are totally coming back for coming appointment!"
    Tina Li / Edmonton, Alberta
  • "Just as I posted on my Facebook wall, try Dr Hany Naguib at Rutherford Veterinary for the most excellent and thoughtful care! Tucker and I have never experienced better!!"
    Michele Hamilton- Friesen / Edmonton, Alberta
  • "The staff at Rutherford Vet are outstanding! Very helpful, caring and obviously very passionate in caring for animals! I will highly recommend them to everyone!"
    Cheryl Moroszczuk / Edmonton, Alberta
  • "We first visited Dr. Naguib several years ago when our dog Flûte, a cock-a-poo, had had several months of repeated skin irritations which often lead to infections. At that time, he told us that non shedding dogs were often subject to skin problems due to a reaction to protein and recommended a dog food in which the protein is hydrolyzed. Flûte has been happily eating this food and has been allergy free since that visit. Recently, we visited Dr. Naguib in his own clinic which is a very welcoming and state of the art facility. He quickly diagnosed an acute problem and kept Flute for further tests. Shortly after taking x-rays, he sent them to us by e-mail and communicated with us by phone to enable us to understand what we were seeing."
    Michele Foley / Edmonton, Alberta
