Care for Every Animal on Your Place
A full-service farm vet, brought to your gate.
A True Farm Vet for Montana Ranchers
On a working ranch or farm, your animals aren't pets — they're your livelihood, and often your family's way of life. You need a veterinarian who understands that, who knows production agriculture, and who shows up at the gate ready to work. For twenty-four years, Tallgrass Veterinary has been that vet for ranches, farms, and rural families across Montana's Gallatin Valley. We're a large-animal and mixed practice, which means we care for the whole place: cattle, sheep, goats, and horses, plus the working dogs that help run the operation.
We built our practice around what farm and ranch families actually need. We're ambulatory, coming to your ranch with the equipment and expertise to handle the job on-site — because hauling a sick cow or a down ewe isn't practical, and often isn't possible. We provide the full range of large-animal medicine: herd health programs, cattle work and preg-checking, small-ruminant care, equine farm services, reproduction and breeding management, and preventive wellness for all your animals. And we're there around the clock for our clients when emergencies strike, because on a farm, calving trouble and injuries don't keep business hours. Just as important, we understand that veterinary care on a working operation has to make sense both medically and financially, so we give you straight, practical, honest guidance and help you make smart decisions for your herd and your bottom line. We know livestock, we know ranching, and we respect the way you live and work. Whether you run a big cattle operation or keep a few goats and horses on a small acreage, Tallgrass is your whole farm's vet — twenty-four years strong, and right at your gate.

Trusted by the Valley's Farms & Ranches
Tallgrass has been our ranch's vet for years and I don't know what we'd do without them. Running a cow-calf operation, our animals are our livelihood, and having a vet who understands production agriculture — not just pets — makes all the difference. They handle our herd health, preg-checks, and vaccinations efficiently and knowledgeably, and they're honest about what's worth doing and what isn't, which a rancher really appreciates. During calving season when we've had trouble, they've come out at all hours and saved calves and cows that we'd have lost otherwise. They know cattle, they know ranching, and they treat our operation like it matters. When you're depending on your herd to pay the bills, you need a vet you can count on, and Tallgrass is exactly that. Twenty-four years of large-animal experience shows in everything they do. Practical, skilled, honest, and always willing to come out when we need them. For any rancher in the Gallatin Valley, these are the folks you want taking care of your animals.
We raise sheep and goats and finding a vet who's genuinely knowledgeable about small ruminants is rare — most large-animal vets focus on cattle and horses. Tallgrass truly knows sheep and goats, and it shows in the quality of care our flock and herd get. From routine health and parasite management to lambing and kidding troubles to the occasional sick animal, they handle it all expertly and come right out to our place. They've helped us improve our flock's health and productivity with practical advice tailored to how we actually operate, and they've saved animals in emergencies more than once. What I value most is that they take our smaller operation as seriously as any big cattle ranch and never make us feel like our sheep and goats matter less. They're patient teachers too, always willing to show us how to handle things ourselves. For anyone raising small ruminants in southwest Montana, Tallgrass is a real find. Knowledgeable, caring, and practical. We recommend them to everyone in our farming community without hesitation.
As a mixed operation with cattle, a few horses, and even some backyard goats, we love that Tallgrass can care for everything on our place. Instead of juggling different vets for different animals, we have one knowledgeable team that handles it all, comes to our farm, and knows our whole operation. Their breadth of expertise is impressive — they're as comfortable preg-checking cows as they are working up a lame horse or treating a sick goat. They keep all our animals healthy with practical herd and wellness care, and when emergencies happen, which on a farm they always do, they respond fast and calm at any hour. They even take great care of our working cattle dogs. Having a true farm vet who understands rural life and treats our animals — and us — with respect and honesty is invaluable. They've earned our complete trust over the years. For any farm or ranch family in the Gallatin Valley wanting one dependable vet for all their animals, Tallgrass is the answer. Skilled, reliable, and genuinely part of our operation's success.
I'll never forget the night one of our best cows went down with a difficult calving. I called Tallgrass in a panic and they were at our ranch remarkably fast, worked calmly and skillfully through a hard situation, and saved both the cow and the calf. That kind of expertise and dedication at two in the morning is exactly why we trust them with our whole herd. But it's not just emergencies — their routine herd work is top-notch too. They've helped us tighten up our herd health program, improve our conception rates through better reproduction management, and make smart, economical decisions for our operation. They understand that on a ranch, veterinary care has to make sense both medically and financially, and they always give us straight, practical guidance. They know cattle inside and out and they respect the way we live and work. Twenty-four years serving Montana ranchers has made them the best in the valley, in my book. If you run cattle anywhere near Bozeman, do yourself a favor and call Tallgrass. They're the real deal.
Farm & Ranch Vet FAQ
What animals do you treat?
We're a large-animal and mixed practice, which means we care for the full range of animals you'll find on a Montana farm or ranch. Our core work is with cattle — cow-calf operations, stockers, and small herds — where we handle herd health, pregnancy checking, processing, vaccinations, calving assistance, and sick-animal care. We also have genuine expertise in small ruminants, caring for sheep and goats with everything from flock health and parasite management to lambing and kidding support, which is care that's genuinely hard to find since many large-animal vets focus only on cattle and horses. We provide equine farm services too — on-farm wellness, vaccinations, dentistry, lameness work, and Coggins testing for your horses. And we don't forget the working dogs and farm dogs that help run your operation; we provide wellness and care for them right alongside the livestock. Whether you run a big cattle operation, raise a flock of sheep, keep a few goats and horses on a small acreage, or run a diverse mixed operation, we can be your one dependable vet for every animal on the place. That's the advantage of a true mixed practice: one knowledgeable team that knows your whole operation, instead of juggling different vets for different species.
Do you come to my ranch?
Yes — we're a fully ambulatory practice, which means we bring veterinary care directly to your ranch or farm rather than asking you to haul animals to a clinic. This is fundamental to how large-animal practice works and one of the biggest reasons ranchers rely on us. Hauling livestock is impractical, stressful for the animals, and with a sick or injured animal often simply not possible — you can't load a cow that's down with calving trouble or a ewe that's prolapsed. So we come to you, arriving at your place with the equipment and expertise to handle the work on-site, using your own working facilities and corrals. We serve ranches and farms across the Gallatin Valley, including Bozeman, Belgrade, Manhattan, Three Forks, Livingston, and the surrounding rural areas. Whether it's routine herd work like preg-checking and vaccinations, a difficult calving in the middle of the night, a lame horse, or a sick goat, we bring the care to your gate. It saves you the labor and hassle of transport, lets us work with your animals in their own environment, and means we get to know your operation and your setup over time. Coming to the ranch is simply how good farm veterinary care is done, and it's how we've served Montana ranchers for twenty-four years.
What should I do in a livestock emergency?
Call us immediately at (406) 555-0192 — we provide 24/7 on-farm emergency care for our clients, because on a farm or ranch, emergencies happen at all hours and often can't wait. The most common emergencies we respond to include calving and lambing difficulties, which are urgent and time-sensitive; injuries and lacerations; prolapses; bloat and colic; and animals that are suddenly down or off. When you call, we'll talk you through the situation, advise you on what to do in the moment, and get to your place as fast as we can. With calving and lambing trouble especially, prompt action can mean saving both the mother and the offspring, so it's critical not to wait too long before calling — we'd always rather come out and have it turn out manageable than have you wait on something that becomes deadly. This is exactly why having an established relationship with a farm vet matters so much: our 24/7 emergency response is for our clients, so being on our books means expert help is a phone call away when disaster strikes at 2 A.M. If you have an animal in trouble and you're not sure whether it's an emergency, call anyway — we'll help you figure it out. Fast, calm, capable emergency care is a core part of what we do and why ranchers count on us.
Do you really know sheep and goats, or mostly cattle?
We genuinely know sheep and goats, and it's something we're proud of, because good small-ruminant veterinary care is honestly hard to find. Many large-animal vets concentrate on cattle and horses and treat sheep and goats as an afterthought, but we've built real expertise in small ruminants and take that part of our practice seriously. We provide comprehensive care for flocks and herds, including routine health and preventive programs, parasite management — which is critical and challenging in sheep and goats — nutritional guidance, lambing and kidding assistance, and treatment for sick or injured animals. We understand that sheep and goats have their own distinct health needs, diseases, and management considerations that differ from cattle, and we stay current on small-ruminant medicine so we can serve producers well. Whether you run a commercial sheep operation, raise meat or dairy goats, or keep a small flock or herd on your acreage, we care for your animals with the same knowledge and dedication we bring to any cattle ranch. Small-ruminant producers in our area have told us how relieved they are to finally have a vet who truly understands their animals, and we take that trust seriously. So no — with us, your sheep and goats are not second-class patients. They get expert, attentive care.
Can you help improve my herd's health and productivity?
Absolutely — helping ranchers and farmers improve their herds' and flocks' health, productivity, and profitability is one of the most valuable things we do, and it goes well beyond treating sick animals. Preventive herd health is the foundation: we work with you to design and carry out vaccination programs, parasite and deworming protocols, and biosecurity and nutrition strategies that keep your animals healthy and prevent problems before they start, which is far more economical than reacting to disease. On the reproduction side, we provide breeding soundness exams, pregnancy diagnosis, and reproductive management that can tighten your calving or lambing window, improve conception rates, and directly boost your operation's productivity and returns. We help you make smart, data-informed decisions about your herd, from culling to genetics to timing, always with an eye on both animal health and your bottom line. Because we understand production agriculture, we give you practical guidance that makes economic sense, not just medical recommendations that ignore the realities of running an operation. Over the years we've helped many operations in the valley become healthier and more productive. Think of us as a partner in your operation's success, there for the routine management and planning that keeps your animals thriving and your business strong, not just for emergencies. That ongoing relationship is where a good farm vet adds the most value.
How do I become a client or book a farm call?
Getting started is easy: call (406) 555-0192 or send the form with your name, your ranch or farm's location, what animals you have, and what you need — whether it's routine herd work, a specific problem, reproduction services, or something else — and we'll schedule a farm call at a time that works for your operation. We welcome new clients across the Gallatin Valley, including Bozeman, Belgrade, Manhattan, Three Forks, Livingston, and the surrounding ranches and farms. We especially encourage farm and ranch families to establish a relationship with us before an emergency arises, since our 24/7 on-farm emergency response is for our clients — having us as your regular vet means expert help is a phone call away when calving trouble or an injury strikes at any hour.
