Kaufman County 4-H’er Caroline Costello one of the ninety youth selected in the State of Texas for the West Texas Youth Veterinary Science Workshop, held June 29 - July 3 at the Tom Green County 4-H Center in San Angelo.
The event is sponsored by the Texas AgriLife Extension Service offices in Sutton, Schleicher and Tom Green counties.

University and research faculty members, AgriLife Extension and Texas Animal Health Commission personnel, as well as veterinarians, served as instructors.
Course topics included: zoology, the Beef Quality Assurance Program, toxicology, parasitology, anaesthesiology, anatomy, nutrition, first aid, beef feedlot health management, large and small animal practice, necropsy and horse medicine. The workshop included classroom study, lab work and field excursions.
Caroline said she had the best time at vet camp and that it was such a wonderful experience. She learned that there were so many job opportunities in the veterinary world. She learned about the physiology of a badger, silver fox, porcupine, and a jack rabbit just to name a few of the classroom and field excursions.
