So this probably isn't something you hear about a lot on steerplanet, but I figure you all were better suited to help me find an internship that I'm interested in than anyone else!
I am a junior at NC State University, majoring in Animal Science with a minor in Genetics. I have also been selected for the Food Animal Scholars program, which identifies 6 people who are interested in livestock veterinary medicine. It saves a spot for me at NC State's vet school, I just have to maintain my grades and apply. (NCSU is not my first choice of vet schools though.. I would much rather go to Iowa State, Missouri, or Kansas State! Don't worry, I will be applying to all of them.) Last summer I worked on a hog farm, and I also live at the apartment at the Swine Educational Unit here at NCSU. (I work for my rent!) This summer I would like to do something with beef cattle since they are my main passion. We have always had cows on the farm, but we are not a huge, intensive operation. I am very interested in reproduction practices such as embryo transfer, AI, etc etc. Anything hands-on! I would love to find a farm (a big show cattle farm would be GREAT) that would take me on and let me learn & do things. I would love to be paid, but I do not mind simply coming onto the farm and learning. My passion is shorthorn cattle, but any breed would be okay! With that being said, does anyone know of an operation that might do this? Or would any of you be interested in taking me on this summer? I'm very eager to learn, and I love to work. If you want to know more about me please PM me.. I am involved in lots of things! Thank you!
