Herd Management Services
Welcome to Full Quiver Integrative Veterinary Solutions, your trusted partner for comprehensive herd management. Our veterinary team brings advanced expertise to protect the health and productivity of your livestock.

Understanding Herd Management
Effective herd management means using expert veterinary care, herd health planning, and preventive medicine to keep livestock safe, thriving, and profitable. These services cover all aspects of a herd’s health throughout every life stage, from breeding to routine wellness and disease prevention.
Herd management is especially important for farms with horses, cattle, goats, or sheep. Consistent veterinary oversight helps reduce disease outbreaks, improve breeding success, and support efficient production. Preventive care, such as regular exams, vaccinations, fecal assessments, and nutritional counseling, enhances both individual and overall herd health.
At Full Quiver Integrative Veterinary Solutions, our mission is to deliver high-quality veterinary herd management and nearby communities. We combine advanced Western medicine with integrative therapies to optimize animal health and real-world results. The goal is simple: healthier animals, less stress for owners, and more productivity for your operation.
What to Expect During Herd Management Services
Bringing your animals to us, or arranging on-farm visits, means you receive personalized, attentive care and proactive planning.
Each herd management visit begins with a thorough assessment, tailored to the species, farm size, and your operation’s specific goals. Our veterinarians guide you through every step.
Comprehensive Physical Exams
We start with complete exams for each animal or representative samples. This includes checking vital signs, body condition, teeth, hooves, and skin for early signs of disease or injury.
Our team uses up-to-date equipment and gentle handling to spot concerns quickly and reduce stress on your animals. For herds with young or high-value stock, we pay close attention to early developmental health.
Preventive Care: Vaccinations and Parasite Control
Next comes a customized protocol for vaccines, deworming, and parasite control. We assess your herd’s risk factors based on environment, recent cases, and local disease trends.
Vaccination schedules are tailored for best results in equine, bovine, caprine, and ovine herds. Our veterinarians also use FAMACHA scoring and strategic fecal testing to guide deworming, minimizing resistance and ensuring targeted treatment.
Reproductive Planning and Breeding Soundness
A healthy herd depends on strong reproductive performance. Dr. Holly Crews offers breeding soundness exams, pregnancy checks, and fertility planning for all four species.
Full Quiver Integrative Veterinary Solutions uses ultrasound and hands-on clinical skills to maximize breeding outcomes, catch early pregnancy issues, and prevent reproductive disease outbreaks.
Integrative Therapies and Performance Consults
For optimal animal health, we offer chiropractic, acupuncture, laser, and shockwave therapies to reduce lameness, boost recovery, and promote longevity. These integrative options are especially valuable for performance herds and animals needing extra support.
Our veterinary team also consults on nutrition, stress management, and enrichment for herds facing unique challenges.

Why Herd Management is Important for Your Livestock
Strong herd management builds the foundation for animal health, productivity, and peace of mind. It helps avoid devastating disease outbreaks, maximizes breeding success, and improves growth rates for market animals.
Proactive veterinary care means problems are caught early, before they threaten the entire herd. It supports better milk, meat, or fiber quality and reduces long-term costs by preventing emergencies.
Herd management services are essential for owners looking to protect animal welfare, meet regulatory requirements, and achieve business goals sustainably.
Reduced Disease Risk
Routine exams, vaccines, and parasite control keep infectious diseases at bay, reducing the risk of illness spreading through your herd.
Improved Breeding and Productivity
Breeding soundness checks and management increase conception rates and support strong, healthy offspring, so operations are more profitable year after year.
Long-Term Economic Savings
Preventive herd care minimizes losses due to sickness, downtime, and veterinary emergencies, saving you money and headaches in the long run.
Signs Your Herd May Need Veterinary Herd Management
Herds benefit from regular management, but some warning signs indicate urgent veterinary attention is needed.
- Sudden drop in milk, fiber, or meat production
- Unexplained lameness or injuries among multiple animals
- Abortions, birthing problems, or infertility issues
- Coughing, nasal discharge, diarrhea, or other signs of contagious disease
- Increased parasite load, weight loss, or poor coat condition
If you notice any of these symptoms, contact Full Quiver Integrative Veterinary Solutions right away. Timely intervention can make the difference between managing a minor issue and facing a major herd health crisis.
How Often Should Your Herd Receive Herd Management Services?
The ideal frequency depends on your farm’s size, animal species, production goals, and health history. Most herds benefit from at least two to three veterinary evaluations per year, targeted to major life stages and seasonal risks.
Young, growing, or breeding animals may need more frequent checkups, while routine parasite checks and vaccine updates should follow a set, annual schedule. Dr. Holly Crews and our veterinary professionals offer personalized recommendations to match your unique operation.
Regular herd management ensures you stay ahead of health problems, regulatory deadlines, and performance goals. Our flexible scheduling and mobile services make it easy for your farm, large or small.
