• Treat donor and recipient cattle and calves; perform or assist with surgeries, including cesarean sections, as needed.
• Collaborate with embryologists, veterinary technicians, and other veterinarians to deliver consistent, high-quality services.

The program generally lasts four to seven months, including at least approximately four months onsite. Additional training may be necessary for certain specialized procedures or certifications. Housing is provided during training.

Location and Travel

Colorado is strongly preferred. Candidates in western Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and surrounding western plains locations may also be considered. Travel is estimated at approximately 15%, depending on home location, and is primarily regional driving with occasional overnight stays. Seasonal demand may involve extended workdays.
