See this article for the information you are seeking:

Employment, Starting Salaries, and Educational Indebtedness of Year-2004 Graduates of US Veterinary Medical Colleges
J Am Vet Med Assoc 225[11]:1677-1679 Dec 1'04 Facts Figures 1 Refs
Allison J. Shepherd, MBA
AVMA Membership and Field Services Division (Research Projects Manager)


Also, you can check out the AVMA Career Center to see the variation in salaries with region etc. (http://www.avma.org/vcc/default.asp).

It seems you should not have a problem earning $50,000 per year in private small animal practice in most areas as a new graduate.
