Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Jesi Harvey joined the Live Oak team in April 2016, coming from a small animal practice in Weatherford. Her special interest areas include equine lameness and reproduction, as well as advanced reproductive techniques in ruminants. She completed her Bachelor of Science degree at Texas A&M University, then stayed to earn a Master's degree in equine reproduction before moving to the Mineral Wells area to work for a large cutting horse operation as a broodmare manager. After several years working in the horse industry in Mineral Wells, Weatherford, and Stephenville, she returned to Texas A&M to earn her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. After veterinary school, she completed a one-year internship at Reata Equine Hospital in Weatherford, then worked in small animal practice before finding her home at Live Oak. Dr. Jesi was raised on a small family ranch in Lance Creek, Wyoming and enjoys returning there to visit extended family whenever possible. When she is not working at the clinic she is usually working on renovating her Jacksboro home or just enjoying time with her family; which includes her favorite handyman, Richard, and his children Bailey and Hunter. Their working Border Collie, Karma, usually accompanies her to supervise the work day, while Blue Heeler Mae and Australian Shepherd Tad defend the yard at home. A couple of retired Quarter Horses and a small herd of registered Boer goats round out the operation and provide plenty of medical challenges.
