About the scholarship

Are you a soon-to-be fourth-year student passionate about production animal medicine and looking for a hands-on calving placement? Farm Veterinary Matamata is now seeking applications for our fourth year calving scholarship. We are a friendly, supportive team of vets and techs servicing the Matamata area. Most of our work is within the dairy industry, meaning that spring will be a busy and exciting time for us! From calvings, sick cows, surgery, disbudding to metrichecking, you will have plenty of opportunity to learn all about what spring has to offer for a production animal vet, and gain hands-on experience with a wide range of cases.

What we offer:

  • Two week placement with our fantastic team for your fourth year calving.
  • $1500 upon completion of the placement.
  • Accommodation will be provided, keeping your living costs minimal.
  • A chance to work alongside a fun and passionate team committed to mentoring future production animal vets.
