[Ag-eq] Do I fight or just find some other way

Tue Jul 6 18:58:12 UTC 2010

Hi susan  At the University where I went that was a four year degree and it was for farm animals.  I don't live near any farms  the only livestalk I am by is at the Campus, and the animals are being taken care of by the vet students.  I think I had to have a Zoology degree to do other animals.  

How if you know of some where els that uses people with that title, I would like to know.  but farns and some zoos are the only places I kmow that have animal husbandry. 

Thanks so much, 

Barb
