Meet Dr. Stowers
Dr. Stowers grew up on a small family farm in Dawsonville, Georgia. During his youth, he was an active member of both 4-H and FFA where he showed livestock, participated on the Livestock Judging Team, and served as a State FFA Officer. These programs allowed Dr. Stowers to gain a deep understanding of not only the production and health of livestock but also an understanding of the importance of how to handle livestock. In 2005, he began his own small beef cattle operation that he continues to grow today. He has used the knowledge he gained throughout his education to implement different practices and protocols to improve his herd.
Dr. Stowers completed his first two years of undergraduate at North Georgia College and State University (now UNG). He graduated Cum-laude from the University of Georgia in 2014 where he received a Bachelor’s of Science in Poultry Science. While at UGA he was active in UGA Cattleman’s Association, Block and Bridle, UGA Poultry Science Club, and competed on UGA’s Poultry Judging Team. Dr. Stowers attended the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine where his studies were emphasized in Food Animal Medicine and Production. He graduated Cum-laude with his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2018. Throughout the curriculum at UGA CVM, he lived and worked at Rose Creek Farm, UGA’s Veterinary School farm. In order to gain a better knowledge and develop his skills in cattle medicine he completed externships at Krebs Ranch in Nebraska and bovine veterinary practices in Texas, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia. These practices provided herd health and preventative medicine to Cow-Calf producers.
Dr. Stowers began Hillside Veterinary Services in May of 2018. His professional interests encompass anything involving beef cows especially herd health and preventative medicine. He enjoys working with cattle producers in North Georgia to help both improve their herd and to increase profits all while improving the quality of the cattle they produce. Dr. Stowers is also excited to have an opportunity to give back to FFA and 4-H, two programs that provided him with numerous opportunities, through working with local youth.
Dr. Stowers and his wife (Becca) have one son (Slaton) and a chocolate lab (Huck) who they love spending time with. He also enjoys spending time with his family, Reggie, Carolyn, and Leah Stowers, and his friends who have played a vital role in helping him reach his goals. He continues to improve and grow his cow herd. Dr. Stowers is an avid hunter, NASCAR enthusiast, a huge Georgia Bulldog football fan and loves cheering on the "Dawgs."
