About Us
Personal Service with a Pro-Active Approach
Welcome to Farm Vet Services. Founded in 2019 By Patrick Finnegan and Stephen Hazelton, Farm Vet Services are committed to providing a first-class service to their customers. Here we cater solely for farm animals and aim to be just as effective at preventing disease as treating it. Our team of vets can help and advise you on best practice for your dairy, beef, suckler or sheep farm. Happy livestock are profitable livestock and as such ensuring good animal welfare is at the fore of our clinical decisions.
We hope you enjoy your time on our website and can find the information or resources you are looking for.
VETERINARY SURGEONS
Patrick finnegan
BVMS MRCVS
Originally from a beef farm outside of Clogher and a 2017 graduate of Glasgow Vet School, Patrick started his veterinary career in mixed practice in Northern Ireland. 3 months working in New Zealand before starting FVS with Stephen in 2019. Since that, he has become the bargain hunter in the firm and this gave him many ideas. While in NZ he took the opportunity to go skiing in the NZ mountains. This is one of Patrick’s favourite thing to do when not working Patrick enjoys watching football and rugby.

BVMS MRCVS
After graduating from Glasgow Vet School in 2016 Stephen went straight into farm animal practice for a year in South West England. After working back in Northern Ireland for a while, he then spent 2 months in New Zealand where he locumed in a dairy practice and experienced everything that NZ has to offer. Since starting FVS Stephen enjoys all aspects of farm animal work, in particular the emergency work and cattle fertility. At home when he gets a rare spare minute Stephen is busy working on the family farm and spending time with his wife, Louise, and his two young sons.
Rory Jack
BVMS MRCVS
Rory comes originally from Stirling in Scotland he graduated from Glasgow Vet School in 2022. Rory joined us after doing some of his training with us as a student.
Rory’s interests include rugby for Ballyclare, socializing, and getting to know all the farmers, and is also known to like to throw the occasional party at Paddy’s new house.
Jason graham
BVMS MRCVS
Joining Farm Vet Services part time in February 2021 Jason brings a wealth of experience to the team. Like Patrick and Stephen, he graduated from Glasgow University (don’t ask how many years beforehand!) He splits the rest of the week between working on his 600 cow family dairy farm and spending time with his wife and children.
Ryan Neill
BVSC MRCVS
Ryan grew up in Portadown and comes from a strong farming background, with both his mum and dad involved in agriculture — so working with animals was always on the cards. He joined Farm Vet Services initially as a vet student on placement in 2023 and graduated from the University of Liverpool in summer 2025.
Ryan enjoys being hands-on and says there’s nowhere he’d rather be than out on the farm. Outside of work, he plays rugby for Portadown, He also farms honey — proving his farming skills extend to animals with wings and stings.
A fun fact that usually catches people out: Ryan not only is a farm animal vet has also bred poultry, including turkeys, ducks, chickens, geese and keeps bees — so if it honks, quacks, gobbles… or buzzes, Ryan’s probably dealt with it.

When she’s not in the office she can be found playing football for Brookeborough ladies GAA.

Heather Crawford
Heather is the powerhouse of our team—always on the move and never standing still for long. With a knack for keeping the kettle going, she brings energy and efficiency to everything she does. We’re lucky to have Heather keeping things running smoothly (and keeping Eric on his toes!).
Lauren Coulter
Lauren grew up in Ballyboley and now lives just outside Antrim on a beef and sheep farm, so it’s fair to say farming has always been part of the plan. She enjoys the variety of her role, learning more about the industry, and especially the crack with clients.
Outside of work, Lauren is a proud home bird, usually found on the farm or baking. Despite working in a busy practice, she doesn’t drink much tea and doesn’t like coffee, which often shocks people more than it should.
A true animal lover, if it has four legs, Lauren’s a fan. Her life motto is simple: “If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving another one.”
