Huge shout-out to the veterinarians (& vet techs & assistants) out there! 🩺

While many people think of small animal vets taking care of pets like dogs🐕, cats🐈‍⬛, etc. Veterinarians take care of many species including wildlife🦊🐦🐟, lab animals🐭, exotics🐼🐘🐅, and farm/food/large animals🐄🐎🐔🐖🐑!

It's not an easy job regardless of the species they work with. So thank you!

Veterinarians play an important role on dairy farms, like my family's. They help us take good care of our animals and ensure a healthy & safe food supply. They help us develop an overall herd health plan to ensure the health and well-being of our cows, heifers, and calves.

Dairy Herd Health Plans include:
🐮Routine herd health visits ("check-ups")
🐮Vaccination schedules
🐮Reproductive exams for pregnancy checks and cows ready to breed
🐮Routine treatments/procedures
🐮Discussing any herd management issues
🐮Designing herd health/management protocols
🐮"Emergency/house calls" for sick/injured animals
🐮 Prescribing medications as needed and providing instructions on use to protect food safety

💥BTW All meat & milk in the store is antibiotic -free💥

All of this requires and forms what's called a Veterinarian-Client-Patient-Relationship (VCPR), which is just a fancy way of saying the farm and veterinarian are working closely together to meet animal care goals.

VCPRs are actually a required component of the dairy Farmers Assuring Responsible Management (FARM) program, which my family's farm and the co-operative we ship our milk with are a part of. About 99% of the U.S. milk supply is part of the animal care portion of this program!

Again thank you veterinarians (especially large animal vets)!
