Abstract

• Has the practicing veterinarian played a role in the profitability of livestock enterprises?
• Shouldn't this role be expanded?
• How will this expansion take place?
These are challenging questions for today's members of the American Association of Bovine Practitioners. How one may respond to these challenges will influence the rate of success in a given food animal practice.
