Dr. Erica Richer
Dr. Erica Richer graduated from the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine in May of 2008. She is originally from mid/up-state New York, where she attended Cornell University as an Animal Science major. As a youth, a career in veterinary medicine was always the end-goal. Living on a small hobby farm she was able to raise dairy goats and was a Master 4-H showman in her county. Her experience with bovines comes from living on a dairy farm for a summer in upstate New York as well as briefly showing beef heifers in an undergraduate livestock club. Her equine experience stems from watching her twin sister raise and show horses for most of their lives. She continues to have an interest in small ruminants as well as camelids, equines and the larger ruminants. Having grown up in both a suburban and later a rural area of New York she is of course very interested in cats and dogs as well. She is quite happy to have been invited to join a veterinary hospital that sees so many species and is able to offer mentorship for a recent graduate. When not working, Dr. Richer and her Australian Shepherd, Blueberry Appaloosa, enjoy mountain biking, trail running, visiting with family in the area and keeping her two cats on their toes.
