My research interests are at the intersection of production animal agriculture and public health at the population level - with an emphasis on dairy cattle. On-going projects are in the areas of calf infectious diseases and performance and transition cow health and performance. I teach a variety of bovine herd health and epidemiology classes as well as provide consulting and emergency service for the dairy industry.
