("Heritage" or the "Company"). Main Street completed the follow-on investment in Heritage to support the Company's acquisition of Muleshoe Animal Clinic, PLLC, Muleshoe Vet Labs, LLC and Muleshoe Vet Supply, LP (collectively "Muleshoe"), a mixed animal practice in Muleshoe, Texas that provides veterinary services, products and supplies, as part of Heritage's ongoing acquisition growth strategy.
