Rex G. Crawford, DVM

Dr. Rex Crawford joined DVS after graduation from the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph in 2005. Dr. Crawford purchased the practice in January 2006. Dr. Crawford grew up on a purebred Shorthorn beef cattle and Suffolk sheep farm near Glencoe Ontario. He continues to be involved in the farm – still operated by his parents and brother and sister-in-law – including owning a small group of purebred Simmental cows with his nieces.

Dr. Crawford enjoys all aspects of Large Animal practice – and especially the variety that working on multiple species offers. He has a special interest in Small Ruminant health and management and was the inaugural president of the Small Ruminant Veterinarians of Ontario (SRVO) and is currently a board member. Dr. Crawford represents veterinarians on a number of sheep and goat industry committees. Dr. Crawford speaks widely on small ruminant health related topics, and has taught portions of the Master Shepherd’s Course run by the Ontario Sheep Farmers. Since 2015, Dr. Crawford has become involved in the collection and freezing of bull, ram, and buck semen in partnership with Deb Ottier at Iron Horse Equine.

Outside of veterinary medicine, Dr. Crawford enjoys curling, judging cattle and sheep, helping his family show cattle, and serving as ringman for a number of cattle shows. (Source)
