Westpoint Group Trading Ltd - Murton | Vets in York, East Yorkshire

Westpoint Group Trading Ltd – Murton is part of the Westpoint group and is set up as a livestock-focused veterinary practice rather than a small-animal clinic. The website lists routine and emergency farm work alongside reproduction-focused services (including cattle and sheep AI and embryo work), and reviews mention vets attending farm visits (including late-night call-outs). In the latest reviews available to us, sheep keepers describe getting hands-on guidance as new flock owners, and one detailed account describes a late-night visit for a sick orphan calf where the vet used the Madigan Squeeze technique and stayed on-site rather than rushing off.

Just had Ricardo to our sheep for a site visit and castration. Lovely guy and very helpful, explained everything and gave lots of advice as we are new to keeping sheep. A great vets practice right from my first phone call.

Absolutely 1st class service. Came out late at night to a poorly, orphan calf, didn't rush off, despite the late hour. Adriana performed the Madigan Squeeze technique on it and saved a very poorly calf. Adriana was patient, caring and very knowledgeable and here we are, a few weeks later with a strong and healthy calf. Thank you for a fantastic service.
