The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) awarded a $125,000 Veterinary Services Grant Program (CFDA 10.336) project grant to Danielle and Earl Brady LLC (dba Cold Hollow Veterinary Services) to address a shortage of large animal veterinarians in northern Vermont and New Hampshire. The grant will fund the purchase of a mobile digital x-ray unit and stationary ultrasound equipment to improve diagnostic capabilities and efficiency for the practice's service area of approximately 105 dairy farms, dozen swine and beef cattle operations, and over 300 goat dairy producers. Additionally, the grant will support the acquisition of a mobile veterinary clinic and truck to facilitate safe travel and continued veterinary student externship, internship, and educational programs. The project aims to enhance veterinary services and expand the practice's coverage to ensure continued access to essential care for the local agricultural community.
