Dr Benjamin Weir DVM BSc (Veterinary Bioscience)
Large Animal Veterinarian/ Director
New Zealand born Dr Benjamin Weir graduated Vet school in Adelaide in 2017 then spent 3 years in the South East working in mixed practice. Following this, he moved back towards Adelaide, working in the Fleurieu and Hills regions, focusing primarily on production animal surgery and medicine. He loves anything bovine related.
Ben started Production Animal Veterinary Services in April 2023 and is enjoying the challenges of running a business and sharing his knowledge and experience with his clients. He is a BullCHECK accredited veterinarian, APAV (Accreditation program for Australian veterinarians). He is also a keen cattle preg tester, and you will rarely find him without his ultrasound.
On the rare occasion when he is not working, Ben enjoys clay target shooting or relaxing at the beach with his wife Tess and his best mate, Indiana Bones.
Michelle Smart
Practice Manager
Practice manager Michelle is an incredibly talented sheep and livestock farmer with a wealth of knowledge and experience. After taking a break from working in the veterinary industry in late 2022, she has returned in April 2023 to work with Dr Ben at Production Animal Veterinary services. You'll get to know Michelle quite well as she answers the phones and is excellent at organising drug orders and scheduling appointments.
Indiana Bones
Veterinary Assistant/Co-pilot/Dog
Wherever Dr Ben goes, Indiana Bones won't be far behind. This loveable border collie enjoys a car ride and will spend all day helping Dr Ben with farm calls. Feel free to give him a good pat next time you see him and he might just give you a big lick to say thank you.
