General Manager

Veterinary Agri-Health Services, Ltd. (VAHS) was founded in 1993 in southern Alberta and currently services progressive cow-calf and feedlot operations across all four western provinces.

Examples include developing practice benchmarks, streamlining pharmaceutical purchasing and invoicing processes. Our business utilizes a robust inventory and accounting software program that has the capability to run advanced reports to help guide decision making. Other duties include human resource development, warehouse management, and oversight of the annual budget. The General Manager will be responsible for working collaboratively with the partners to oversee, schedule, and lead a small team of extremely talented and passionate people. This individual will also play a key role in fostering relationships with clients, industry partners, pharmaceutical company representatives, and affiliate veterinary practices.
