Castration, c-sections, prolapse repair, dehorning, hernia repair, eye enucleation, and more — surgical care for cattle, goats, and sheep.
On-farm procedures
Time-critical response
All ruminants
Complex cases referred
Bovine and small ruminants are not exempt from needing surgery at times. Our doctors strive to provide an excellent level of care to your livestock just like we would your pet.
Routine procedures include castration of males. Other more complex procedures include eye enucleation, prolapse replacements, claw amputations, dehorning, hernia repairs, and emergency c-sections.
We approach every large animal surgical case with appropriate preparation, analgesia, sedation, and clear post-operative guidance — the same standards we apply to companion animal patients.
Each visit is tailored to your animal’s needs, but here’s the full scope of what we routinely offer.
Routine castration of bulls, bucks, and rams — on-farm or at clinic using appropriate sedation and analgesia.
Emergency cesarean sections for cattle and small ruminants when calving/kidding/lambing assistance is insufficient. We respond urgently — time is critical.
Vaginal and uterine prolapse reduction and retention — a common emergency in cattle and small ruminants requiring prompt surgical intervention.
Surgical removal of severely diseased or traumatized eyes — typically for cancer eye (squamous cell carcinoma) in cattle or severe ocular disease in ruminants.
Laceration repair, claw amputation, cosmetic dehorning, hernia repair in calves, and other surgical needs as they arise.
From the moment you book to the follow-up call after — here’s how a typical visit unfolds.

Many large animal procedures — castration, prolapse repair, dehorning — are performed on-farm with appropriate restraint and sedation. Call to discuss what’s possible for your situation.
When calving/kidding/lambing assistance fails to safely deliver offspring, fetal malposition cannot be corrected, or the dam’s or offspring’s life is at immediate risk. Call as early as possible — timing is critical.
Keep prolapsed tissue clean and moist (saline-soaked towel) and call immediately. Do not attempt to replace it yourself without veterinary guidance. This is a time-sensitive emergency.
Before 3 months of age is ideal — least stressful and safest. Discuss timing and method with our doctors based on your management calendar.
Yes. Cases beyond our current scope are referred to Texas A&M with complete case documentation for continuity of care.
