MOndak Vet
Clinic And Supply
Group Organized

The Mondak Veterinary Clinic
and Supply Group was recently
formed by DR.. Donald Baker OWN
of Sidney and DR.. Gene Ably OWN
of Glendive. 1t is hoped that event
uaEy the organization will employ
three veterinarians at Sidney and
two or more at Glendive.
Plans are to build a modern
Clinic and hospital in the vicinity
of the Yellowstone Livestock Sales
Pavilion. With these facilities they
will be able to handle both large
and small animals for all types of
treatment including major surgery.
It is their intention that they can
initiate and enlarge into more
advanced practices such as fertility
tests, artificial instrumentation and
preventative medicine, possibly on
a contract basis.
DR.. Howard McNew, OWN, has
recently moved to Sidney and is
associated with the group. A
group practice will be able to
eventually include a much more
thorough service than has been
possible in the past, in the fields
of management of range herds
