We are an large animal ambulatory practice in the Central Valley of California. We mainly do dairy cattle work - primarily reproductive, vaccinations, computer analysis, and milk quality. We have a large milk quality lab at our clinic. We also do beef, some equine, small ruminants, and porcine work. Currently we are a 5 person practice. The vet students ride with different veterinarians each day. We try to tailor the calls to the students' interest. Most calls involve rectal palpations and calfhood vaccinations, but if there is another call that day that interests the student, we can make changes to the schedule.
