Dr. Brittany Truax:
Dr. Brittany Truax grew up on a small farm in south-central Pennsylvania where she quickly discovered her love of animals. Convincing her parents to invest in sheep, Dr. Truax grew a small flock of Oxford breeding sheep that she showed at a national level.

This passion led Dr. Truax to Virginia Tech where she obtained a B.S. in Animal Science followed by The Ohio State University where she earned her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine.
Dr. Truax’s free time is usually dictated by the needs of her corgi, Lexie. They can usually be spotted hiking, finding fun places to swim, and trying new taco restaurants. She is currently rebuilding her cattle herd, advancing her crossbred flock of sheep, and serves as a consulting advisor for her family’s goat herd.
Dr. Truax is excited to work with both companion and large animals and has a special interest in small ruminants, reproduction, and show livestock.
