Dr. Kelly Barratt honoured


 Dr. Kelly Barratt of Listowel has been chosen Bovine Practitioner of the Year by the American Association of Bovine Practitioners.


She is a partner in Heartland Veterinary Services.


“I never thought it would be me, that’s for sure. But it truly is the top honour that you can receive as a cow vet in North America,” she said in a recent interview with Farms.Com.


 “The fact that I received it on my first nomination is just so incredible,” she said.


“It’s an award for cow veterinarians who have made a difference in the lives of their patients, the clients, their producers, and for the industry itself, whether that be the dairy or beef industry; in my case, the dairy industry.”
