Livestock show season can be a busy and exciting time for exhibitors and their families. The Big Bend Livestock Show is right around the corner, and youth from FFA and 4-H clubs in Brewster and Jeff Davis counties have been preparing all year long to compete for bragging rights and show off their prized animals. Dr. Ray Allen of Alpine Veterinary Clinic provides a much-needed service by offering free wellness care for the show animals, something he has done since he started practicing in 1973. “We help them take care of the animals, and we don’t charge for the market animals,” said Allen, whose vet clinic treats all animals, large and small. “You have those leaders behind those kids, and they do a tremendous job,” he said. “Those are the people who make it happen. What we do is just a small part.”
