Keith Cutler BSc BVSc Dip.ECBHM MRCVS

Keith studied at the Bristol University Veterinary School qualifying in 1990 having already been awarded a BSc in Anatomical Sciences in 1987. He started working in the farm animal division of Endell Veterinary Group in July 1990. His main interests lie in the areas of cattle fertility and reproduction, bovine lameness, infectious disease [especially B.V.D. and Johne’s disease] control on a herd basis, suckler herd production and the management and welfare of large exotic animals.

He is a member of the British Veterinary Association, the Southern Counties Veterinary Association (of which he is a past President), the British Cattle Veterinary Association, the British Veterinary Deer Society, the British Veterinary Camelid Society and the British Veterinary Zoological Society. He is also Honorary Veterinary Surgeon to the National Beef Association and the Wessex branch of the British Deer Society. He lectures regularly on bovine topics at the various UK veterinary schools and at scientific meetings in the UK and around the world. Keith also regularly writes articles for veterinary journals and farming magazines as well as sitting on advisory panels for DEFRA, the NBA and CHeCS.

He was awarded his European Diploma in Cattle Health and Production in 2006 – one of the very few vets working in general practice to be awarded this qualification. In 2007 he was the first person to be named Farmer’s Weekly Farm Livestock Advisor of the Year. In 2009 he became President of the British Cattle Veterinary Association.

Outside of work Keith endeavours to keep up with the social life of his two daughters and in the occasional moments when he finds a minute of free time he indulges his interests in photography, shooting and ballroom dancing.

Louise graduated from Cambridge University in July 2007 having previously gained an MA in Zoology. She spent a year in mixed practice on the Dorset/Somerset border before joining our farm department in August 2008.

Louise’s main interests lie in cattle health and production along with a keen interest in sheep and mastitis. She is also involved with the veterinary care of the more exotic farm species looked after by the Farm Department. Louise has continued to develop her knowledge in the fields of cattle nutrition, mastitis and foot trimming since starting work at Endell Veterinary Group.

In her leisure time Louise can usually be found in a field somewhere working or training her black Labrador “Indi”, entertaining friends or travelling to far-flung destinations with her fiancé James.

Jim is a 2004 graduate of the University of Bristol. After qualifying he went to work in mixed practice in North Wales although the bulk of his time was spent working with cattle and sheep. He then moved to a specialist cattle practice in Gloucestershire, where he worked mainly with dairy cattle and pedigree sheep breeders. In 2008 Jim left practice to take up a position with the VLA in Sutton Bonington to leave him more time for study for post-graduate qualifications. Finding he missed the challenges and “buzz” of working in practice Jim decided to go back to what he enjoyed and joined Endell Veterinary Group in October 2009.

During his time in Gloucestershire Jim was awarded his Cert CHP [Certificate in Cattle Health and Production] and continues currently with his studies for his Dip CHP [Diploma in Cattle Health and Production] – the highest post-graduate qualification available to practising cattle vets in the UK. While working at the VLA Jim was involved in investigating disease on individual and herd or flock basis in all species of farm animals [cattle, sheep, pig, poultry and game birds] and some large exotics and so has experience in epidemiology and diagnostics.

Jim’s interests away from work include photography and his motorbike!

Stewart qualified from the University of Glasgow in 2009. He joined Endell Veterinary Group in September 2009. As a student he spent time working in a large and well-known cattle practice in Cheshire and he also has experience of the cattle industry in both Canada and New Zealand. Stewart comes from a mixed beef and arable farm on the Essex/Cambridgeshire border – this means that he is also an experienced combine driver!

Stewart’s major interest is in cattle fertility, and in the dairy herd, mastitis and cell count control, with a growing interest in beef production and nutrition – should be useful at home!

When not busy at work Stewart may be found on a sporting field of some kind, be it the rugby pitch or the fairways, and has a keen interest in country field sports.

Will qualified from the University of Bristol Veterinary School in 2009. He joined Endell Veterinary Group in July 2009.

He aims to become involved in frequent herd health studies and analysis to give constructive feedback and advice to our clients, focusing on herd level health care as well as providing care for individual animals.

Outside of work Will enjoys a wide range of sports and country pursuits – particularly fly fishing.
