Dr. Will Fombell

Dr. Will Fombelle is a partner and swine veterinarian at Carthage Veterinary Service. He is based out of Teutopolis, IL and service clients in Illinois as well as the surrounding states. He grew up on a farrow-finish swine farm near Atwood, Illinois, where he was actively involved in the day-to-day operation of the farm. His family converted our farm from sows into a contract finishing operation which continued until my father retired in 2018. He was also involved in 4-H and showed pigs at local and state fairs for ten years.

Will graduated from Atwood-Hammond High School and then attended Illinois State University where he received degrees in both Agricultural Science and Agricultural Industry Management. From there he attended the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine where he graduated in 2015 with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.

"Over the last 5 years, our industry has showed us that we need to stay competitive. The pandemic taught us that we must continue to strive for efficiency and low-cost production. We need to continue to focus in these areas to stay competitive in the industry."
