About This RoleThis full time, associate veterinarian position could be suited for someone specifically interested in cattle, but we would love to have an applicant who has some equine interest, as that segment of our practice has rapidly expanded in the past 5 years. Along with our 6 veterinarians, our staff includes several support staff. We utilize Easy-Scan lite ultrasounds for our cattle herds. We have digital X-ray system and Terafloat dental equipment for horses.
Our full-time vets typically work
4-day work weeks. We have flexibility if you'd prefer single-species or mixed-large. We have over 65 years of combined experience to mentor young/new grads.
Daily Roles Bovine: client herd health visits, ultrasound palpation, training farm employees and reviewing protocols, routine surgery. Spanish speaking a huge benefit.
Daily Roles Equine/Small Ruminant: preventative care, reproductive work, sick animal calls, field emergencies, equine dentals, etc. If someone had interest in sports medicine/chiropractic/acupuncture, there is definitely a need.
We currently run a 4 week on call rotation where you're on call for a week, average is 1-2 after hours calls/week (ER vet receives 100% ER fee)
