Feilding Production Team

Trevor Cook BVSc MACVSc
Director, Production Animal Consultant

Trevor's blend of veterinary skills and farm systems knowledge is enhanced through the experience and insight gained from being a Director in his own business, Totally Vets. Applying his skills and values with the wisdom of years and a zest for life ensures healthy and enduring working relationships with those to whom he consults.

Lindsay Rowe BVSc
Director, Intelact and Dairy Consultant

Lindsay is a veterinarian with more than 25 years experience in the Manawatu and who has now spent the last 15 years providing a consultancy service to dairy farmers in the region. Add to this the experience of having grown up on a local dairy farm and he is well placed to understand and help his clients grow a profitable farming business.

Barny Askin BVSc MA VET MB
Director, Production Animal Veterinarian

Barny graduated from Cambridge University in 1997. Following three years in mixed practice in the UK, he decided to head over to New Zealand for a working OE. He never quite made it back home and has been working for Totally Vets (previously Manawatu Vet Services) since 2000. Barny is involved in all areas of production animal medicine but has a particular interest in BVD eradication programs, bull fertility and lameness prevention.

Emma Scott BVSc
Production Animal Veterinarian, Team Leader

Emma was raised on a mixed sheep, beef and dairy farm in Northland and has been passionate about animals and farming all her life. After graduating from Massey in 2000 she worked in mixed animal practice for Manawatu Vet Services in Feilding. After stints in the UK and Whanganui, and a break with family, she returned to Totally Vets in 2017 as a Production Animal Vet. She loves the Manawatu and enjoys all production animal work, especially getting to know and help our farming clients.

Hamish Pike BVSc
Production Animal Veterinarian

Hamish began working for Manawatu Vet Service (which has since become Totally Vets) in 1996 after graduating from Massey. He decided to spread his wings in 1999 and head off on an O.E, where he ended up working in Norfolk, England in a mixed animal vet practice. In 2001, he decided to return to the Manawatu and Totally Vets. Hamish's main interest is production work, dairy and beef cattle, sheep, deer and anything else that is presented to him on farm. His real passion is working with his clients and helping them achieve their goals.

Juan Klue BVSc
Production Animal Veterinarian

Juan joined Totally Vets in 2013 after graduating from Massey University. Having a farming background meant working within the production side of the business made sense to him. His main interests lie in both dairy and beef cattle, sheep and deer. Left to his own devices, being out on a farm is always his preference than back at the clinic behind a desk.

Laura Beasley BVetMed MVM
Production Animal Veterinarian

Since graduating from the Royal Veterinary College in London in 2008, Laura has worked as a farm animal vet in the UK, Ireland and New Zealand before joining the Totally Vets Feilding team in 2018. Her primary interest is improving the health and performance of dairy herds by working closely with farmers. Outside of work Laura lives on a Manawatu dairy farm with her partner.

Beck Broughan BVSc (dist)
Mixed Animal Veterinarian

Having had a previous career in the metal casting industry, a stint working on a dairy goat farm in the Waikato led Beck to undertake veterinary studies at Massey. While she started out with a strong focus on becoming a large animal vet, over the course of the degree she found that she also gets a lot of satisfaction from small animal medicine. Beck's time at Massey introduced her to the joys of the Manawatu and she is enjoying staying on in the area as part of the Feilding veterinary team.

Georgie Martin
Mixed Animal Veterinarian

Georgie grew up with deer and polo ponies on a farm in North Canterbury and initially moved up to Wellington to study law. Returning to the family farm after a year of law school, Georgie realised she wanted to work outside rather than in an office for the rest of her life. So, she changed to BVSc at Massey University, graduated in 2020 and has decided to start her career in the Manawatu with us.

Donna Aldridge
Veterinary Technician

Donna started working for Totally Vets in 2014. She has a background in farming having grown up on a sheep and beef farm. Donna began in customer service and has now taken on the role of a large animal vet technician, assisting on farm with jobs such as bull fertility testing, disbudding, blood testing, and teat sealing alongside other work. Her friendly face and knowledge of animal health is a great asset to the team at Totally Vets.

Claire Ritchie
Veterinary Technician

Claire joined the Totally Vets large animal team as a technician in May 2020 after spending five years working on large scale dairy farms throughout New Zealand and England. Originally from the Manawatu, a change of pace (and a pandemic) brought her home to Feilding and she loves being back. She is very passionate about the agricultural industry having graduated from Massey with an AgriScience degree, and is looking forward to utilising her skills on farm.

Carla Sheridan
Commercial Sales

Carla has worked with the company at various times since 1994. She has been based at our Feilding clinic since 2014 organising our production animal vets and developing our in-clinic laboratory services. Carla has moved into a commercial role to help service our farmers out on the road with their seasonal requirements as well as being a friendly knowledgeable face over the counter in the clinic.
