The Bridger Valley area of southwest Wyoming is located north of the Uinta Mountain range, part of the Rocky Mountains. With high elevation (6,800 feet at the valley floor), rugged geography, and cold, harsh, and windy weather, agriculture opportunities in the Valley are limited to growing wild native grass and English and Continental breeds of beef cattle. The Valley is home to four communities – Fort Bridger, Mountain View, Lyman, and Robertson – all served by Dr. Ben Osborne and his colleagues at Uinta Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Osborne shared, “We are very rural; the total population of the valley is just over 4,000 between the 4 towns. This geography, climate, and isolation has created a unique community of tough, independent individuals, a community our family is proud to call home.”

Dr. Osborne has been practicing at Uinta Veterinary Hospital since 2010 and loves the daily challenges presented with a rural mixed animal practice and the mental and physical gymnastics involved in helping whatever walks through the door. Over the years, he has channeled his passion to develop a program with local ranchers called the Uinta Veterinary Hospital Comprehensive Herd Health Program. The program is a consultation and service-based program where the hospital provides all herd services, data collection and analysis, and herd marketing.
