Meet the Team
Jessica Byrnes-Clark BSc BVT - Managing Director & Technologist
Jessica has over five years of experience in both private practice and Massey University where a love of lifestyle block medicine and management was fostered. Jessica is originally from the “winterless” North but is starting to enjoy the cold climate the Central Plateau has to offer.
She is a big fan of preventative based health, engages in low stress animal handling and enjoys working with all of the different farm animals and their owners. Outside of work Jessica you will find her enjoying the great outdoors, making a mess in the kitchen or looking after her “kids”; the dogs, turtles, goats and boyfriend Chris.
Dr Danielle Gifford BVSc - Veterinarian
Danielle has over ten years of farm animal veterinary experience both in private practice and at Massey University and is focused on preventing disease and maximising welfare in animals through targeted animal health planning.
As a lifestyle block owner herself she understands the unique challenges small block farmers face, whether farming animals for profit or pleasure. Danielle loves living in rural New Zealand and enjoying all it has to offer with her husband and children (and animal menagerie).
