For more than fifty years, the rolling pastures of Connecticut's Farmington Valley served as the office for Dr. Harry Werner, a legendary veterinarian who’s career bore witness to a profound transformation in American agriculture.
With his wife and partner Susan Werner, they navigated the challenges of a 24-7 business through decades of changing country life, watching the profession evolve from an era of clinical intuition to hyper-specialized, high-tech modern medicine.
In today’s episode, Dr. Werner shares the remarkable, often humorous, and deeply moving stories of a lifetime spent in the stalls—revealing not just how the care of our farm animals has changed, but how a family with strong dedication built a lasting legacy in veterinary care in the Farmington valley.
