Skills for success as a new graduate in beef practice

Abstract

Becoming a successful beef cattle practitioner takes more time, effort and gumption than other sectors of veterinary practice. This makes the profession daunting but extremely rewarding! Reaching this goal requires an ability to perform physical tasks and process individual animal cases, all while encouraging herd-based medicine and consulting. When you graduate veter­inary school, all of those factors are daunting. This discussion flows through how to process that and establish a plan for the beginning of your career.
