Raising the Bar in Barnyard Medicine

In this episode, Kylie sits down with Dr. Ashton Whittington’s newest veterinarian and one of our fearless large animal docs under Dr. P. Fresh out of LSU, she jumped headfirst into a field still mostly run by the boys… and she’s proving every day that she belongs right there beside them, rope in hand and boots on the ground.We talk about what it’s like navigating the first year out of vet school, the challenges (and perks) of being a woman in a traditionally male-dominated corner of the profession, and the moments that made her fall in love with large animal medicine in the first place. She shares stories from the field, the lessons she’s learning on the fly, and the grit it takes to carve her own place. And yes, we’re getting into the real talk about finding confidence, earning respect, and keeping your head up when folks underestimate you.

If you love hearing about purpose, passion, and breaking barriers with a little dirt under your nails, this episode’s your ride-along.
