Practice strengths and emphasis of the business:
Center Hill Veterinary Clinic provides comprehensive, production-focused dairy medicine, offering routine herd-health services for dairies ranging from 50 to 5,000 cows. The clinic’s veterinarians emphasize reproductive efficiency, preventative care, and data-driven management — an approach reflected in the success of several client herds that have earned top honors from the Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council for outstanding reproductive performance. Beyond dairy, the clinic works closely with some of the nation's leading registered beef herds, providing advanced reproductive and herd-health services tailored to high-genetic-value cattle. Center Hill Veterinary Clinic is also a satellite center for Trans Ova Genetics and offers professional embryo transfer services, enabling clients to expand and accelerate genetic progress.
As a true mixed-animal practice, Center Hill Veterinary Clinic is equally committed to delivering exceptional care for equine and small-animal patients. Horse owners rely on the clinic for everything from routine wellness and dentistry to emergency services and advanced reproductive support, backed by veterinarians with deep experience in both performance and pleasure horses. Companion-animal clients benefit from attentive, compassionate care focused on practical solutions — from preventive medicine and diagnostics to surgery and urgent care. This combination of broad expertise, responsive service, and genuine dedication to animal well-being makes the clinic a trusted resource for families, farms, and horse owners across the region. Opportunities are available for candidates with interest in these species.
