How much does a veterinarian in rural Oklahoma make?

Answer 1

A newly graduated veterinarian can expect to make between US$55,000 and US$75,000 per year depending upon the local cost of living, the type of practice being joined and what specialized experience the new veterinarian has.

Answer 2

While the nationally collected data isn't broken down this far, my guess would be similar to the median annual income for veterinarians or less. Because rural Oklahoma has a fair number of range cattle, beef feedlots and cow/calf operations, there isn't a great deal of large animal medicine to be done out there. Due to the low population base, the number of companion animals to treat is also likely to be low.

Putting numbers on the above, I would guess a median income for a veterinarian in rural Oklahoma to be between $65,000 and $80,000 per year, before taxes.

Answer 3

Starting veterinarians earn about $29,000 in Oklahoma. However, as they progress in their career, this amount is reviewed upwards and they can make up to $92,000 per year.
