Dr. Bennett spends four days a week going to farms and one day a week in the office. His primary focus is dairy and beef cattle health with a robust mix of small ruminants and equine. In-house he enjoys challenging surgeries. But, as he is often heard telling the pre-vet and vet students, "the best part of clinical practice is the long-term relationships we build with our clients."
