I can’t believe it’s only four weeks until Summer break! Between keeping up with classes and all of the AWESOME opportunities that the College of Agriculture provides, this semester has truly flown by. I have been fortunate enough to receive a job at the Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory (WSVL), working in the Necropsy department and will be working there this summer. So far, working at the WSVL has been a great experience where I work side-by-side with UW’s professors of Veterinary Science. I’m gaining a lot of hands-on experience that I will be able to use down the road in my career. Recently, I was able to help with necropsies (animal autopsies) on multiple aborted calves to help a local rancher determine the cause and preventative strategies to use in the future.
Well, I better get back to the grind and finish up homework and studying for tests. This next week is the Wyoming FFA Convention, so I’ll be busy helping with the Meat Judging Contest in between classes and work. There’s never a dull moment when you’re a Cowboy!
Have a great rest of the semester!
