Dee M. Gragg, DVM

Dr. Gragg was born in Burkburnett, Texas in 1953. He was the 3rd of 3 kids. His dad operated a 50 cow dairy and was in the rodeo business. In 1958 the Gragg family moved to Edmond, Oklahoma. Farming & ranching was always a large part of their life and in 1962 his dad Ellis began a large Quarter Horse & Thoroughbred breeding farm and operated it for 27 years.

Dr. Gragg learned at an early age the work ethic and commitment necessary to properly care for animals. His activities with horses began early at horse shows and progressed to the rodeo arena, where he competed in the timed events at high school and college rodeos. He attended Lamar Community College on a rodeo scholarship before returning to Oklahoma State University.

Following graduation with a degree in Animal Science, he moved back home to help manage the family breeding operation for a couple of seasons before starting veterinary school in the fall of 1976. He received his D.V.M. in 1981 from Oklahoma State University.

After graduation, he returned to Edmond to operate a solo equine practice from 1981 through 1989. In 1990, he became a founding partner of Oklahoma City Equine Clinic. Currently, his primary area of interest is in reproduction, which not only includes mare and stallion management, but also a special emphasis on embryo transfer.

In 2003, Dr. Gragg founded and became the managing partner of Embryo Transfer Services, a “sister company” of Oklahoma City Equine Clinic. In the off breeding season he still does some horse show work and manages Gragg Ranch. One of his biggest honors was serving as an executive board member of the American Association of Equine Practitioners.

Dr. Gragg has been married to his wife, Jan, since 1974. They have 3 children (Jill, Deedra, and Zac) and 5 grandchildren (Dakota, Dax, Cora, Ellis, and Olivia). His hobbies include anything involving his family, whether that is a trip to the lake, to the mountains for snow skiing, or simply hanging out at home. (Source)
