Nominations are sought for the 2019 Cattle Production Veterinarian Hall of Fame (CPVHoF). The deadline for nominations is April 1, 2019. One beef and one dairy veterinarian will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

 

Established in 2011, the CPVHoF honors the rich traditions of production veterinary medicine and the individuals who have made a lasting impact on the profession. Through early mornings, late nights and harsh weather conditions, veterinarians are a steadfast and essential part of cattle production. Inductees are true pioneers whose achievements span their entire careers.

 

The Hall of Fame is sponsored by Merck Animal Health, the American Association of Bovine Practitioners, the Academy of Veterinary Consultants and Bovine Veterinarian magazine. Inductees will be honored at the 2019 52nd American Association of Bovine Practitioners Annual Conference on Sept. 13, 2019, in St. Louis, Mo.
