About Eastern Prairie Veterinary Service & Dr. Richards

image705

        Eastern Prairie Veterinary Service is the result of my lifelong dream of being a veterinarian. After 20 years in agricultural sales and marketing with Dow AgroSciences, I retired to attend vet school at the University of Illinois. 

In the Spring of 2013, my practice was opened to provide independent, mobile large animal veterinary care.

           Having grown up with horses and beef cattle in Mississippi myself, my husband, Marc, and I now have our own small livestock farm which include a sheep flock, working Border Collies, llamas, alpacas and Clydesdale horses in rural St. Joseph, IL.  When not doing veterinary things, I herd with my Border Collies, hitch my Clydesdale team, knit, and spend time with my husband on our own little piece of heaven.

          Experience has taught me with the challenges that producers face. My goal is to provide you with excellent veterinary care, tailored to your performance & production goals. While treating all large animals, I have a particular interest in camelid medicine. 

Professional memberships include AVMA, AASRP and AAEP; as well as being a CameliDYNAMICS Consultant.
