DEVON County Show marks the start of the show season in the South West and St Boniface Veterinary Clinic of Crediton will be the show’s honorary vets.

Tony Kemmish BSc BVMS DBR MRCVS Practice Principal says: "We are proud to be continuing the Wolfgar tradition, by providing veterinary surgeons to treat the magnificent livestock"

He added: "St Boniface Vets have been there for farmers of Mid Devon for more than six decades.

"Since 2001 St Boniface Vets has grown from a two vet mixed practice to providing dedicated teams for each division of the practice. We now have a six-vet small animal team, a nine-vet farm team and a three-vet equine team. Despite this expansion it remains a family-run business committed to providing the best in veterinary care.

"Devon County Show showcases the best of county and country life. The event involves more than 600 beef and dairy cattle, 1,400 sheep, 1,000 horses and hundreds of goats, guinea pigs, rabbits and poultry.

"Although the show begins on May 19, for three days, St Boniface Vets will be on site from May 17, as the livestock arrive."

Tony concluded: "We are delighted to be honorary vets and would like to thank all the other practices who give up their time to support the show. Many practices have lent their experience in previous years and we are all proud to work together as one team to deliver veterinary care for this fantastic event.

"This year, we have a stand in the Livestock building, come along and have a chat."
