PAC MEMBER HIGHLIGHT•••••••••
DR. SHAUN MORRIS S and E Feedlot Consulting Services Johannesburg, South Africa Dr. Shaun Morris has been practicing veterinary medicine for 32 years and with S and E Feedlot Consulting Services for the past 24 years. His practice is based out of Johannesburg, South Africa, and services feedyards throughout southern Africa including Namibia and Botswana. They service about 200,000 cattle and 80,000 to 100,000 lambs at any one time. When asked about a unique aspect of his practice, Dr. Morris said, “The scope of diseases we deal with outside of the respiratory disease complex are vast and complicated. South and southern Africa are endemic areas for a multitude of arthropod vector-borne and foreign animal diseases. Our typical day involves feedyard visits coupled with government interaction on a disease control front, on farm, in abattoirs, and finding solutions to the multitude of problems the industry faces.” Dr. Morris is passionate about the opportunity as a veterinarian to make a difference on a daily basis. He credits Dr. Dan Thomson as his mentor, demonstrating passion, enthusiasm, motivation, and a wealth of knowledge as well as being a true human being. Dr. Morris would encourage aspiring veterinarians to find a mentor who will provide guidance and motivation and to be enthusiastic about their work.
