I am totally amazed on how knowledgeable and dedicated my veterinary tech students here at Violette Hill Farm are . Today we had a final exam in the form of a quiz bowl. The questions were not easy, however it included all information from the last 10 weeks. From the differents between bacteria and viruses to how a ruminating stomachs works, these kids didn't miss a questions. They were in teams , but all 50 questions were answered correctly with enthusiasm. These kids are amazing and will be a great addition to the future.
