On Feb. 1, the Neepawa Veterinary Clinic welcomed a new vet to the practice, Dr. Rhian Beever.  Beever joins Dr. Liz Ostendorf at the mixed animal practice operating out the Neepawa and District Veterinary Clinic building. 

Beever grew up on a cow-calf operation in the Rivers area and attended the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon. After graduation in 2012, she spent two years working as a vet in Shoal Lake, then spent about a year and a half working with CFIA in Neepawa, at HyLife Foods.

Beever said had been looking to come back to private practice and when this job became available, it seemed like a good opportunity. An added bonus of the Neepawa location is its proximity to her parents’ farm, where she continues to help as time permits.

Beever is happy to be back in a mixed clinic, saying, “I like the variety. It’s the mixture that keeps you coming back.”
