Along the way during three years of studies, she was influenced by Professor Judy Bowmaster-Cole in a dog obedience class. Lacey gained interest in how a well-trained stock dog could help in safe handling of livestock.

Curtis, Neb. – Veterinary technician students at the University of Nebraska’s agriculture college in Curtis know plenty about animal health care. In fact, during year-end exams, each student is tested on 130 skills or tasks.
This in-depth, hands-on education is a hallmark for the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture, and helps earn national recognition for the 45-year-old program.
The American Veterinary Medical Association recently re-affirmed accreditation for NCTA’s Veterinary Technology Program, said Ron Rosati, dean of NCTA, a two-year-degree institution.
