A positively identified case of New World Screwworms have been reported in Tom Green County (San Angelo). Unless someone hauled that animal in from somewhere else, then that would imply that there are active Screwworm flies in The Big Country. Please watch your animals for any wounds that appear infected or not healing. Contact your veterinarian if you see either.

On June 11, 2026, a Tom Green County bovine was confirmed to be infested with NWS. An infested zone is being formed around the detection and will be reflected on the TAHC interactive map once it is officially established. USDA continues to update the NWS case dashboard daily: https://bit.ly/USDA-NWSConfirmedCases

We are currently looking to fill two vet tech positions. The beautiful ladies in the first photo are headed back to vet school at Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine in August. One position will start July 1st and one position will start August 1st. If you are wanting to attend veterinary school and just need more equine veterinary experience for the application process, we have an excellent track record of placement. If you are just looking for a fun, exciting place to work that allows you to work on some of coolest horses in the world, we're the place for you. Technician experience is a plus but not mandatory. Horse experience is a must. In addition, you will be required to have watched "Tombstone" and "Lonesome Dove". Because, as one of our previous employees learned, "Lonesome Dove" is not "That gay cowboy movie". You may have to quote a few lines for the interview process. Please no phone calls or texts. Please email a brief resume or at least a brief introduction to [email protected]
