- My name is Reuben Nelley, I am a third-year vet student with a particular interest in large animals. I wish to specialize in large animals and work as a large animal vet. I also have a key interest in dairy cattle and horses. In the future I intend to do some post-graduate study for these two species. Working with farmers is something I am looking forward to once I graduate as I have a huge respect for them which was gained through my work experience and childhood.
