I want to welcome you. My career as a veterinarian has been primarily in working with cowcalf and feedlot operations across the U.S. I have a passion for helping the cattle industry make improvements in a constantly changing environment. As an industry we need to continue to look for new ways to reduce sickness in cattle. I believe we have several tools to assist producers in keeping cattle healthy and making them more profitable.
As I travel the country doing producer and vet meetings I plan to visit about what I see and my thoughts for ways to make progress. We have an amazing industry with producers who are willing to change and make progress. There will always be people that want to hang on to what they have always done, but I think we are seeing times where that may make it difficult to stay competitive.
We have a challenge in that most people do not come from an agricultural background any more. I was fortunate in being raised on a cattle and row crop farm in Indiana. The people I visit with on airplanes get most if not all their info from media sources that really don’t know anything about what we actually do. I think the attached video shows just that…
Looking forward to visit…have a great day.
