UPCOMING EVENT
Moo-Ville has offered us an extended tour including discussion of embryo transfer, artificial insemination practices, their calving program, how they select their heifers, all the way to how they milk their cows!

"MOO-ville Creamery is family owned and operated. We milk 200 cows with robots in Nashville, Michigan. We believe in producing high quality Milk and process it as little as possible. We bottle our own milk, make our own ice cream, cheese, and butter, all under the MOO-ville logo." -Moo-ville website

Last up, but certainly not least we have Kaitlyn Goodman our wetlab coordinator! She is a second year set to graduate in 2025.

Kaitlyn plans to work in large animal medicine, possibly with a specialization in reproduction.

She is from the Upper Peninsula and attended MSU for her Bachelor of Animal Science before coming to vet school. Her study buddy, Bindi, here in Lansing helps remind her to take breaks from school and go for a walk. On her farm back home they raise 4-H beef cattle so genetics, reproduction, and animal handling has always been important in her life!

Our second Palpation Team Co-Chair is Cecelia Brandt, a first year student set to graduate in 2026.

Cecelia plans to go into Food Animal or Regulatory medicine post graduation. Outside of school, she is an only child from the west side of Michigan. Cecelia enjoys all things outdoors taking advantage of the different seasons, including snowmobiling in the winter. She even has a herd of about 30 goats at home to keep her busy as well!

We would appreciate all the support! Please send a message or comment with any questions!

Next up is Curtis Patton! Curtis is a second year, set to graduate in 2025. He is currently serving two positions on the MSU CVM Theriogenology Club E-Board, Treasurer and Palpation Team Co-Coordinator!

After graduation Curtis is looking to go into Large Animal Veterinary/ Advanced Bovine Reproductive Technologies. Outside of school Curtis raises cattle, with his favorite breed being Charolais!

Our SECRETARY this year is Hope Catanese, a first year veterinary student set to graduate in 2026!

After school Hope plans to work in mixed animal practice to balance her love for companion animal medicine and production animal medicine.

Outside of school Hope owns a herd of goats along with cattle, and enjoys working!
