QUINN COURTNEY, DVM

T Cross Veterinary Service, Inc. Logan, New Mexico

Veterinary medicine is a true passion for Dr. Quinn Courtney of T Cross Veterinary Service, Inc. “The most gratifying thing for me about veterinary medicine is observing the difference you can make in a cattle operation’s bottom line from conception to the plate and being a part of that decision making process.”

Dr. Courtney graduated from Oklahoma State University in 1989 and practiced in Texas for almost 20 years before starting T Cross Veterinary Service, a mobile bovine veterinary practice based in Logan, New Mexico, in 2008. Dr. Courtney now travels nearly 60,000 miles each year, providing service across four states for some of the country’s smallest and largest cattle operations as well as for a weekly livestock auction. He strives to provide sound, science-based herd health recommendations that make sense and are tailored to a particular operation, backed up with excellent customer service.

While Dr. Courtney recognizes that practicing rural veterinary medicine may not be for everyone, it has been picture perfect for him, fitting him like a fine pair of deerskin leather gloves. He shared, “You have to be careful what you dream of because it can become reality. My dream did, and I wouldn’t change it. If you like the outdoors and interacting with some of the most amazing people the country has to offer, plus you don’t mind a big dose of manual labor from time to time, there is not a better life to have.”
