Really stoked to be part of the sponsorship for this amazing team. It was a huge effort and sacrifice to get over there, and to win in such an unfamiliar set up with completely different sheep is a great achievement. Look forward giving your great dogs a pat next time they are in!

After a hard fought battle the cup is coming home to NZ 🥳 the men and their dogs done a fantastic job today and its awesome that all their efforts to get across the ditch have paid off! Again a massive thank you to all our sponsors that have made this trip possible you guys are awesome!

We have had a small female long-haired tabby cat dropped into the Veterinary Centre Waimate. She has injuries and would like to talk with owners as soon as possible. She has been microchipped but the chip isn't registered on the national pet register ... it does indicate a much loved tabby.

If you think this could be your cat please contact the clinic on 03 689 7213, or pop into Veterinary Centre Waimate at 128 High Street.

Scanning is finished for 2026
These ewes have been drafted into twins and singles and will be set stocked (placed into a paddock with food according to their lambs needs) after shearing.
Merinos are better mothers without their wool - making sure that they take their lambs to shelter if it gets cold.
Lambs will begin to drop mid October here in the High Country.

BLACK & WHITE DSH FEMALE CAT (PINK COLLAR)

Unfortunately we have had a young female domestic short-haired (DSH) cat dropped off at the Veterinary Centre Oamaru. She was found on Ribble Street (by Mega Mitre10 / Big Save Furniture) and does not have a microchip to help us identify the owner, although it does have a pink collar.

If you think this may be your cat please contact us on 03 434 5666.
NOTE - If you have a photo that you can send us, it will make it easier to identify if the cat is yours.

At the Veterinary Centre by the Big Blue Cross we have Puppy Pre-School classes that run for four weeks every month. Puppy Pre-School is a great way to socialise your puppy with other pups, and it gives you the confidence around training and raising your pup to be a real pleasure.
Our classes are small groups with limits of up to 8 puppies at a time, ensuring puppies and owners get one-on-one attention. We still have places in our August classes, so give us a call today to enrol.
Here is a photo of our recent Oamaru class that have just graduated ... well done everyone.
