Sheep and Beef Cattle Veterinarians Branch

Mission

The Sheep and Beef Cattle Veterinarians Branch of the NZVA provides support and resources for veterinarians who have a special interest in sheep and beef cattle.

We do this by:

  • enhancing the efficiency of the sheep and beef cattle industries and their roles in New Zealand's economy
  • ensuring that our veterinary contribution is effective and to the highest standard
  • supporting research in this field by offering scholarships and awards
  • enabling the profession to remain relevant, healthy and sustainable through proactive leadership and being the voice of sheep and beef cattle veterinarians in Aotearoa
  • sharing our wealth of specialist knowledge and collaborating with other organisations to distribute knowledge and advice.
