What does the day look like?

Your workweek runs 45 to 60 hours, typically starting between 06:30 and 08:00. Around 60% to 70% of your time is spent driving a 4x4 practice pickup between rural holdings, manually restraining cattle, performing transrectal examinations, and operating in unheated barns, muddy paddocks, or open fields in extreme weather. On farm visits, you carry out ultrasound pregnancy checks on 40 to 150 dairy cows using portable scanners like IMV imaging Easi-Scan:Go or BCF bovine probes, handle emergency C-sections in heifers, and manage abomasal displacement surgeries or Vink calving jacks. Another 20% of your day goes to logging electronic prescriptions, testing milk or blood samples, and updating herd databases like Uniform-Agri, Nedap CowControl, and CattleEye, while direct nutritional consultations with farmers take just 10%.

Cuddling and nursing baby calves makes up under 5% of the role. The day-to-day reality is strenuous physical work: examining 100 cows in a row, removing retained placentas, performing surgery in drafty milking parlours, and managing acute mastitis cases. You must also cover night and weekend on-call emergency rotas on a 1-in-3 to 1-in-5 schedule.
