"We recognize and celebrate the commitment of the faculty, staff, and stakeholders who worked diligently to establish and deliver the 2+2 program," Rush said. "The VMBS continues its commitment to strong educational training programs that address the needs of Texas' agriculture community and strengthen the presence and impact of the college in the Texas Panhandle."

Current 2+2 DVM program students will join their peers in College Station for the fall 2026 semester, and following the conclusion of the 2+2 program, all 180 students accepted into Texas A&M's DVM program will complete the four-year curriculum in College Station.

Existing VERO faculty with clinical training credentials in production medicine and rural practice will be retained to deliver elective courses, clinical rotations, and externships at VERO and surrounding communities. VERO faculty members who teach the pre-clinical curriculum will be offered faculty positions in College Station.

"Through the creation of a new center of excellence in livestock medicine and rural practice, the VERO research faculty and rotating DVM students will continue their work to support regional producers, expanding their nationally recognized research portfolio through discovery in livestock disease prevention, antimicrobial drug resistance, and herd health management," Rush said. "This transition will leverage existing assets in the Texas Panhandle region to train students for their future in rural practice and livestock medicine in a way that better encourages them to stay and serve the region."

Interesting they chose to resurrect the "Center of Excellence" moniker. I was a student when then, Dean Dick Adams, presented same…."Beef Cattle Center of Excellence". Never happened.

Beef have one and Dairy have four. That is how I tell them apart.

I know heifers and mature cows are beef too, but that would ruin the joke ; )
