Black Mountains Farm Service

Black Mountains Farm Service focuses on farm veterinary work alongside pasture management, and also offers a first-opinion equine veterinary service (per its website). The site describes structured planning support—developing a detailed farm health plan and production targets with farm vet Matt Foulkes, and a bespoke pasture management plan with grassland consultant Gareth Davies, with optional digital farm management via AgriWebb. In the written reviews available to us, owners mention successful treatment of a sick hen with peritonitis, and a work-experience reviewer describes seeing “many aspects of the job” and that the vets were “well received by their clients.”
