**AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** OUR FIRST OBJECTIVE IS TO UPDATE AND IMPROVE OUR HAUL IN CATTLE FACILITY. OUR HOLDING PENS, TUB, ALLEY AND HYDRAULIC CHUTE ALL DESPERATELY NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE PERFORM A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF DISPLACED ABOMASUM SURGERIES, BREEDING SOUNDNESS EXAMS ON BULLS, BRUCELLOSIS VACCINATIONS, AND GENERAL HEALTH EXAMS AT OUR CLINIC. THE FACILITY IS 40 YEARS OLD AND NEEDS TO BE UPDATED TO CONTINUE TO SERVE OUR BEEF AND DAIRY PRODUCERS. THE COST OF THE REMODEL OF THE FACILITY WILL BE COVERED BY BEAR RIVER ANIMAL HOSPITAL, BUT WE ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THE CHUTE, ALLEYWAY. WE CURRENTLY EMPLOYEE A 2022 VMLRP AWARDEE AND SEEK TO EQUIP HIM WITH A PORTABLE ULTRASOUND AND A TRUCK WITH MOBILE VETERINARY BOX. THIS WILL ALLOW ONE MORE VETERINARIAN TO BE PROPERLY EQUIPPED TO PERFORM DAIRY HERD HEALTH VISITS AND BEEF PREGNANCY DIAGNOSIS IN THE FALL. IN AN AREA AS LARGE AS OURS, ONE MORE VET TRUCK WILL GREATLY ENHANCE OUR ABILITY TO MEET THE SHORTAGE OBJECTIVE. FINALLY, WE WILL CONTINUE AND COMMIT TO EXPAND OUR COOPERATION WITH LOCAL FFA CHAPTERS AND YOUTH CHURCH GROUPS TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND DEMONSTRATIONS AT OUR CLINIC.
