Jan M. Currah, BSAg, DVM

Growing up on a commercial cow calf operation in the western parkland region of Manitoba started her love of agriculture at an early age.  Jan was actively involved in all aspects of the family business and loved growing up in a rural setting.

She completed a degree in Agriculture majoring in animal science at the University of Saskatchewan in 2004.  While in the Ag program, she met her future husband Josh.  She spent a year working for the CFIA before starting her veterinary degree at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine.

Upon graduating in 2009, Jan has spent time in a mixed animal practice.  Although enjoying her work with small animals, her real passion is for large animal - Jan loves both bovine and equine work.  She has a keen interest in bovine herd health and is focused on providing a high quality service while helping to increase returns for producers. 

In her spare time, Jan loves being outside – camping, canoeing or spending time in the garden.  She also loves to cook and bake and spend time with family and friends.  Jan and Josh can be found frequently making the long trek back East to their family farms!!

Her friendly smile and love of animals and people are sure to be a fit for you!!
