Learning about Dairy Science

Kara, a sophomore animal science major and VMBS ambassador, visited the Texas Panhandle to study and learn about the dairy industry, giving her a solid foundation in her pursuit to begin a career in large animal medicine.

β€œI loved having the opportunity to learn under a variety of different professors from all around the U.S. who specialize in different areas of dairy herd management and medicine,” Kara said. β€œIt truly was a one-of-a-kind experience to observe such a vital industry in our day-to-day lives.”
