In 2020, Crazy Mountain Veterinary Service was awarded the Veterinary Services Grant Program Rural with a goal of empowering ranchers to produce healthy profitable beef and offer education for producers and youth in the veterinary shortage area for three years. With this grant we have been able to travel the state with our life size, fiberglass cow called Stella and her calf. We have put on Mobile Learning labs for producers, youth, and organizations interested in calving season tips, IV fluid therapy, scours in young calves, casting broken legs, necropsy, how to tube a calf, and more. We are at the end of the funding for that grant, but still offer our Mobile Learning Lab classes at a cost to groups who are interested. Funding has been provided to such groups via Farm Bureau Grants, local businesses, and other fundraising avenues.
In April 2024, Crazy Mountain Veterinary Service veterinarian Katie Rein and a team of an Extension agent and livestock producers received a grant for research in antibiotic resistance. Check back to find out more information for this exciting project!
