Veterinarian Life in Rural America with Brooke Hoffman

6 Ranch Podcast

My sister Adele, owner of 6 Ranch Livestock, takes over the podcast this week! Brooke Hoffman, a local veterinarian, gives a really interesting perspective on the challenges of being a vet in a small town. Her return to her roots after vet school, choosing family and community over potentially greater financial rewards elsewhere, paints a picture of dedication and love for both her craft and her upbringing.
This episode is a testament to the spirit of those who serve rural communities. We discuss evolving dynamics within the field of veterinary science, the ethical considerations ranchers face with antibiotic use, and the importance of community.
