VetSouth Lifestyle Run 2022

Our Lifestyle Run gives lifestyle block owners the opportunity to get on top of their animal health needs. Contact your local clinic to discuss how we can help.

Whether you have ewes and lambs, your rearing calves or any number of other farm animals we can help. We are here to help protect their health and set them up for happy and healthy growth.  
Each block is different and so too is each farmer, so we work with you for the best investment of your time and money.
