🌾 Flat Aggie’s Agricultural Adventure Continues! 🌾

Following a close encounter with a goat on Tuesday, Flat Aggie kept a safe distance from curious creatures and managed the hydraulic chute for a client processing new feedlot arrivals, in addition to aiding with inventory for multiple green tag calls later this week.

🌾 Flat Aggie’s Agricultural Adventure 🌾

Meet **Flat Aggie!** He’s traveling from South Hardin Middle School to learn more about careers and opportunities in agriculture. This week, Flat Aggie is visiting Iowa State University Veterinary Field Services.

🧤First, he got ready for his journey—a quick trip through the office laminator and Flat Aggie was ready to hit the road (and waterproof)!

🐐 Tuesday’s adventure consisted of heading to NE Iowa with Dr. Friedrich’s VDPAM 7495 Small Ruminant Production Medicine class where he assisted students by labeling blood tubes and learning about dairy goats!

Flat Aggie is discovering that agriculture is more than farming—it’s science, technology, animal care, and teamwork!

The ISU student chapter of AABP offers hands-on experiences to their VM1, 2, and 3 members in the form of assisting the Field Services on-call veterinarian on the weekends.

This past weekend, Neena (VM3) took advantage of this opportunity and helped the Field Services rotation student Destinie (VM4) repair a laceration on a sheep leg.

AABP students who haven't taken advantage of this program, reach out to your chapter and fill in any available slots for this fall!

Elk breeding season (rut) takes place annually in September and October. During this time the bull elk of Jester Park become very active and vocal - known as bugling. To prevent injuries during sparring between males, Polk County Conservation had Dr. Rachel Friedrich and VM4 students down to cut off the bulls' antlers before the heat of the season. Don't worry, these guys will grow their antlers back next Spring!
