Nominations Open for Cattle Production Veterinarian Hall of Fame
There is no one more dedicated to the health and well-being of animals than the cattle production veterinarian. Since the veterinary profession began 250 years ago, veterinarians have been helping farmers and ranchers do what they do best – produce safe, nutritious food for the world. Veterinarians are a steadfast and essential part of cattle production.
The Cattle Production Veterinarian Hall of Fame celebrates the rich traditions of cattle production veterinary medicine by honoring the exceptional men and women who have made lasting contributions to their profession. Inductees are true pioneers whose achievements span their entire careers.
Both the beef and dairy nominating committees are seeking nominations for the 2018 award. The nomination committees are entertaining suggestions and any member of AVC and/or AABP can nominate deserving individuals. If you wish to nominate a colleague for this distinguished award, please email Dr. Brent Meyer at brent.meyer@merck.com with names and a short biography.
