How it works

Post mortem services:

Please contact us on 07900 904 193 or Craig Bowness on 07976 617 320 if you wish to arrange carcase pick up, postmortem and disposal in Gloucestershire and surrounding counties, and leave a contact telephone number. If Craig is unable to pick up the carcase(s) for any reason you can drop off at the site by prior arrangement only ( min. 2 hours notice 07900 904 193).
Once you have arranged pick up or drop off we will try to contact you to obtain a history.
Post mortem will be carried out usually on the same day or early the next morning.
You may be asked if you wish to submit samples for additional testing. You and your vet will receive a report detailing the findings and suggested actions.
Invoicing for carcase collection and disposal is through Bowness Farming, invoicing for post mortem will be either through your vet or direct.
