R2Kast 384 – Lee-Anne Oliver on veterinary life, farming communities, and resilience


Listen Later

Today we welcome Lee-Anne Oliver onto the R2Kast! πŸŽ™οΈ A farm vet based near Hexham, Lee-Anne has built her own practise while balancing the pressures and joys of working with livestock and rural communities. πŸ„πŸ‘


We hear how she graduated in 2007, worked across farm animal practice, and eventually took the leap to run her own business. Lee-Anne speaks honestly about the realities of being a farm vet, from calving cows at two in the morning to supporting families as much as animals. She reflects on generational change, community bonds, and why resilience is as much about people as it is about medicine. πŸ’‰πŸ‘©β€βš•οΈ


Our conversation also covers the challenges in the veterinary profession today, from graduate support and corporate buyouts to work-life balance and the emotional weight of caring for clients. Lee-Anne shares why she still loves her role, how seasons shape her outlook, and why the future of large animal practice needs the right mix of passion and protection. 🌦️❀️


A heartfelt, powerful chat about the human side of veterinary work in agriculture.


Enjoy! 😊
