I am a Bristol graduate of this millennium, making me the young blood of the outfit. I am a local lad from a farming family, and unwrapped the veterinary equivalent of Willy Wonka’s Golden Ticket by getting into Bristol Vet School. I haven’t looked back since: I spent a few years in cosmopolitan Malmesbury in Wiltshire, but the siren call of the West compelled me to return in 2004. I hold the RCVS Certificate in Cattle Health and Productivity which supposedly means I know how to use a lot of different kinds of graphs on the computer, as well as get those ‘cows-a-milking’!
