At Westpoint Farm Vets, we are committed to the continuation of professional development in all aspects of practice. It's especially helpful to gain extra training in areas that are historically under-taught at vet school. Some of our vets are members of the Goat Vet Society to make sure that we deliver the most appropriate and up to date care to our caprine patients.

Here is Chelmsford's Katie enjoying a day out of practice learning more about goat medicine.. and it seems that the goats already appreciate her interest!
