Expertise

Knowledge about almost everything to do with beef and dairy cattle. Strong points include breeding/calving/weaning, breeds, feeding, starting-up, pasture/range, most physiological questions, and genetics. PLEASE use your large animal veterinarian as a primary source of information if you have any health-related, life-or-death concerns about your animals.

Experience

I raised stocker steers with farm family, helping with feeding, handling, checking for sick and injured calves, identifying bull calves, pasture management, etc. I also worked at local veterinary clinic with dogs, cats, horses and cattle. Cattle include breeding soundness exams on bulls, castration, fixing prolapses, preg-checking, C-sections, calf pulling, vaccinations, etc.

Education/Credentials
Four years BSc of Agriculture majoring in Animal Science at the U of Alberta, specializing in cattle, animal health and behaviour, forages, pasture & range management, and genetics.
