Introducing Farm & Apiam Genetic Service Tech & Warehouse Assistant, Kate Blackaby! ✨
Kate has been a valued member of the team for 4 and a bit years! Prior to joining us, she worked as a vet nurse for 4 years and studied Animal Science at CSU in Wagga Wagga. ✈️
Kate's love for animals comes from growing up on a hobby farm in Flowerdale. Inspired by her childhood memories of watching Dr. Harry, she followed her passion and pursued a career in animal care.
The most rewarding part of the job for Kate is seeing the embryo calves that they've flushed and transferred come into the world and grow! She is also very proud of learning and implementing new techniques for bull AI straw collection and freezing process, which has been a huge success! 🧬
Kate keeps herself busy outside of work adventuring, 4WDing, reading, riding, and spending time with friends. Her furry family members include Henry the Dalmatian, Walter the cat, Caro the horse, cows, guinea fowl, and chickens! 🐮🐱🐥🐶
