Amanda Oedekoven

Growing up on a very rural ranch and timberland, Amanda had a strong fondness for animals. She began raising Mini Rex through 4-H, FFA, and ARBA as a youth. Rabbits were postponed to pursue a BS in Animal Science and her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. Originally a mixed animal veterinary practitioner in cattle country, she now practices small animal medicine and surgery. She is passionate about the development of these breeds along with her growing children in an animal husbandry lifestyle.
