The Stockdoctor is truly a great assess to the cattle farming industry, anyone who owns cattle should own one. We doctor our cattle with less stress using this tool and have great success insuring our cattle stay healthy. Thanks so much.

I first purchased the Stockdoctor in the early 90s. I had cows and calves turned out on places where there were no facilities available for doctoring cattle. I have been using the Stockdoctor ever since. One month ago, my syringe quit working so I contacted Vanderbuilt for a replacement syringe. I was amazed with how easy it was to get what I needed. I gave my address and that was it… my order was mailed to my home. This company has something that is non-existent in this crazy world we live in today …amazing customer service. I also highly recommend this product.

I am a fan of your product. Last fall I purchased one of your Stockdoctors as a gift to a good friend of mine. I sent it over to him and he was very impressed with the simplicity and stress free administration that the tool provided. I was speaking to him over the last few days and he was telling me that he has many colleagues who also farm and want to buy one. It is truly a great product and would love to be able to provide them in Switzerland as Switzerland has a very adamant mentality to administer medications without stressing out the animals. Stockdoctor is by far the best product that I and many others have said.

I highly recommend the Stockdoctor. We have a cow/calf operation and are all to treat the cows and calves in the pasture. It saves time and is a very efficient medicating system. The employees are very pleasant to deal with.

We have run 100 cow/calf operation for 30 years and use the Stockdoctor when cows are out on pasture. We also ran 600 yearlings on pasture for 5 years. The Stockdoctor is a very useful tool to use out on the range for cattle with hoof rot or pneumonia. Cattle can be a long distance from the handling system and when they are sick its too far and too stressful to move the animal. In such situations we rely on the Stockdoctor. We actually have 2 stockdoctor tools. We can preload the right dose, and have it divided to be delivered in two sites. As you know cows can get cranky and usually run off after treated. We’ve had good success with two people approaching and using the 2 Stockdoctor tools. The Stockdoctor is very light weight, easy to carry and handle. You need to get a good straight on hit and the needle will stay in the animal to deliver the dose. The cuff pulls the needle out as the animal moves away. The only problem I encountered was the syringe flying out of the cuff and would sometimes be hard to find in the grass so I have tied a streamer of flagging tape to the syringe barrel which does not interfere with the function of the tool. The syringe all unscrews for easy cleaning. I like that there is a lot of thread on the screws so the needle is very secure. The plunger can at first be a little tricky to engage, but be calm and follow the instructions in the instruction book. We have even used the Stockdoctor on animals in the corral that are too ornery to move into the handling system. For twenty years the Stockdoctor has been a stress reducer for treating animals. Treatment results have also been successful, and I will continue to use the Stockdoctor tool. Also replacement parts are available at stockdoctor.ca, they have a very detailed website and response time is great.

The Stockdoctor II has allowed me to treat my individual cattle and my calves with great convenience and ease where it is the most difficult, in the open range setting. And it is so reliable I am not afraid to use my more expensive treatments like Draxxin where I was with the other more unreliable remote delivery methods like darts. Even on my cattle in the more confined setting, its considerably easier than the hassle of sorting an individual animal out.

Like the Stockdoctor because of its accuracy when injecting an animal, the slow release of the medication and the revival of syringe. Can also inject larger amounts if I need to. Have used the same Stockdoctor for about the past 10 years, still works great!

The Stockdoctor is very good for out on the farm. I have used it for a long time maybe since the early 90s. I keep it in my feed truck all the time, just recently bought a dart gun and you are limited on medicine. At least on the Stockdoctor you can add 30cc. I just ordered 2 needles. And by the way thanks. It has got me out of a bind on several occasions.
