We hope that everyone is enjoying the start to their summer! (Sorry Fourth Years)

Happy Earth Day! Our hard working Ranchers and Farmers are the original environmentalists.

Based on an assessment of data by the American Farm Bureau Federation, the Agricultural Sector between 2021 and 2022* there has been a
- 12-million-metric-ton reduction in greenhouse gas emissions;
-2.1% reduction in livestock GHG emissions;
-1.7% reduction in crop cultivation emissions; and
-1.2% reduction in fuel combustion emissions.
*Most Recent Data Available

Livestock Veterinarians play a key role in helping animals and their care takers become more efficient. We also play a key role in educating the public about agriculture. I would encourage everyone to not take either role lightly.

There is a lot of confusing information out there about cattle and the environment. We advise that factual sources should always be consulted when dealing with topics like this. Some that we recommend are listed below.

If you are involved in agriculture I encourage you to make one post this week sharing facts and good news about it! Remember the internet is the only knowledge some people have of agriculture, seek to educate them.

It's hard to bow-lieve (Get it?) but Nut Fry is less than one week away!

Even us cattle vets know that dogs are like potato chips... you can't have just one. That why we are so grateful to Canoodle Company for their generous donation of Dog Bows and Dog Bandanas!

So, even if you think you'll work more on cats than cattle, we would love for you to come to Nut Fry and enjoy a steak or vegetarian dinner, dancing, as well as a live and silent auction!

Fact Friday!!! Coming at you with another cattle fact to round off this tough exam week!

Fact Friday!! We are just 58 days away from our annual Nut Fry! This year we will be having live music, live auctioning, a silent auction, and a heck of a good time that you don’t want to miss!! Stay tuned for more details!

Dear friend,
Your dreams are worth chasing. They are worth pursuing. They are worth investing in. Bet on yourself. Feel worthy of success…

And don’t forget to sit in the pen and reflect on how far you’ve come 🖤

In 2018 I wrote a couple big goals on my board.
1. Pay of my student loans in 5 years (paid off in 2022) ✅
2. Workout 3x / week (this goes in spurts but most of the time I meet it. This is more for my mental health)
3. Build a cattle barn in 5-7 years. (Objective was to build a barn and THEN I could actually go buy cows. Instead we bought a pasture and grew our herd from 3 to 100 +🤯) ✅✅✅

Write your big, crazy, scary goals down and watch them manifest 🖤

Check out these awesome AABP members who attended the annual Larimar County Stockgrowers meeting last night! Go Rams!

Fact Friday!!! Did you know that as cattle walk in pasture the pressure from their hooves aerate the soil allowing for better crop growth! Additionally, they help drive seeds into the ground and fertilize it with manure! Talk about efficiency!

Welcome Back Herd!!! We hope you had a fabulous winter break and can’t wait to share all of the exciting events we have this next semester including Nut Fry!! Stay tuned 🐄

Let’s get moooving on the biggest AABP event - our Annual Nut Fry! Please share with your family and friends that our 45th annual nut fry will be April 2nd, 2023 this coming year! We can’t wait to see you all there!!!

If you would like to donate we will accept any auction items (of $100 value) and or any value of event funding donations. We can’t thank our donors enough for making this event and education opportunities for our members happen. Please contact us at [email protected]!

Meet our Media Manager: Jasmine Blattner!

Jasmine is originally from Bradenton, Florida where she found her love for cattle through 4H and FFA. She grew up in the city and would travel to care for her cattle until high school where she was able to keep them at the school. Primarily, Jasmine showed dairy cattle of all ages and a few beef breeding heifers here and there. Jasmine graduated from Colorado State University with a B.S. in Animal Science, and is now a second-year veterinary student. Following graduation, Jasmine hopes to work in a mixed practice with small animal ER medicine and a mobile service for production animals.

⭐️Officer Spotlight!!⭐️

Meet Jaylynn Tortorelli our palpation team co-coordinator!

Jaylynn grew up on a ranch in southeast Colorado extending into northern New Mexico. It was because of this that Jaylynn set a goal to pursue large animal veterinary medicine and why she is an officer in AABP. She earned her B.S. in animal science at West Texas A and M University in Canyon, Texas and is now a second year veterinary student at CSU. Upon completion of vet school, Jaylynn wants to open her own large animal practice in southern Colorado.

Fact Friday!!

The Gelbvieh is one of the oldest German cattle breeds, first found mainly in three Franconian districts of Bavaria.
