It was a beautiful day for a visit to the farm, and this group of visitors had a mission in mind. These students from Dakota County Technical College are in the Veterinary Technician program. Their goal today was to practice some basic procedures on some of our calves.
While under the watchful eyes of their instructors, the students did blood draws, haltered a calf, checked temperatures, and did subcutaneous injections (an injection in which the needle is inserted just under the skin) of saline solution.
It was great to see the enthusiasm of all of these students.
And their care and concern for the safety and comfort of our calves was admirable, a sign of great vet tech's in the making!
We were happy to be a part of these future Veterinary Technicians practical experience.
Veterinarians and Vet Tech's all play an important role on a dairy farm. They are part of the team that helps to keep our animals healthy.
We at Bremer Farms look forward to the next visit by a new class of vet tech's!
