Description
Lester Prairie Veterinary Clinic is seeking a full-time or part-time Large Animal Veterinarian to join our growing, privately-owned practice. This is an excellent opportunity for a DVM looking for diverse clientele, a supportive team, and long-term career growth in a well-established rural practice.
The Practice
Our practice sees a mix of large-animal medicine: approximately 60% dairy, 35% beef, and 5% small ruminant. There are opportunities to expand into equine. You will work with a loyal client base across a range of herd sizes and production systems, giving you the variety to keep your skills sharp and your days interesting. Emergency services are shared equally across all large animal veterinarians and compensation for that work is provided.
Location
Lester Prairie offers the best of both worlds; genuine small-town, rural practice alongside easy access to the Twin Cities metro area. Enjoy a lower cost of living, tight-knit community, and quiet country drives to farms, all while staying within reach of Minneapolis-St. Paul for shopping, dining, entertainment, and travel.
What We Offer
Competitive salary, commensurate with experience
Comprehensive benefits package (health insurance, dental, retirement, PTO, CE allowance, license/dues reimbursement, pet care discounts)
Privately owned practice: no corporate red tape, real input into how the clinic runs
Room to grow: opportunities for mentorship, skill development, and future leadership or ownership potential
Modern equipment and a collaborative team environment
What We're Looking For
DVM degree and active Minnesota veterinary license with class II USDA accreditation
Strong interest or experience in dairy, beef, and small ruminant medicine
Team player with excellent communication and client relationship skills
New graduates welcome, mentorship provided
Whether you're calving out a heifer at 2am or building a value added mastitis culture/monitoring program from the ground up, you'll do it knowing your work truly matters to the farms and families we serve. If you're looking for a place where your skills are valued, your growth is supported, and your work-life balance is real; Lester Prairie Veterinary Clinic is where you belong. Contact us today, we can't wait to meet you!
