This is an externship that involves riding with 2 production animal veterinarians around 16 counties in Central Virginia. We do herd health work, preventative medicine strategies, field surgeries, and reproduction on beef and dairy cattle, small ruminants, pigs, camelids, poultry and rabbits.
We have two full time veterinarians, one part-time veterinarian, one LVT, two veterinary assistants, and one dispatcher. We own an three ultrasound machines, a hoof trimming chute, a For Most cattle chute, and an autoclave.
The responsibilities of the student will depend on their skill level and ability to perform the duties safely. Our days usually run from 7:30 a.m. to around 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. There is always one vet on call for emergencies each week night and weekend. It's up to the student if they participate in emergency duty.
