Charlotte Moss McCrory – Veterinary Surgeon
Despite having grown up in suburban Manchester with minimal exposure to agriculture, Charlie is a practicing farm animal vet, and she adores what she does. After leaving WGS in 2012, she went on to study veterinary medicine at the University of Liverpool. Charlie graduated in 2017 and went straight into first opinion small animal practice, conducting consultations and performing surgery. She transitioned into solely farm animal practice in 2018 and now spends 90% of her time working with high performance and block calving dairy herds, embracing ‘farm chic’ in waterproofs!
