Young Swine Veterinarian of the Year Award

The American Association of Swine Veterinarian’s Young Swine Veterinarian of the Year Award was presented to Dr Chase Stahl during the 47th Annual Meeting of the AASV in New Orleans, LA.  It is given annually to an AASV member five or less years post-graduation who has demonstrated the ideals of exemplary service and proficiency early in his or her career.

Dr Stahl is a 2012 graduate of Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine. He was raised on a farm near Clarion, Iowa where his parents, Nick and Kathy still reside.  Although his family did not raise livestock, he was fortunate to have the opportunity to assist friends and neighbors with their livestock operations.  It wasn’t until a summer job at Iowa State’s Diagnostic Laboratory that he became determined to pursue a career in swine veterinary medicine.

Dr Stahl spent his first year following veterinary school practicing as a staff veterinarian with Iowa Select Farms.  In 2013, he joined the Fairmont Veterinary Clinic in Fairmont, MN where he and his 7 partners and 2 associate veterinariansfocus on serving swine and beef producers in Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Nebraska.  Dr Stahl has the great privilege of assisting many independent swine producers with their health, production, marketing, and nutritional needs.  He takes immense pride in getting to know his clients on a personal level, listening to their needs, and developing and implementing a plan; all grounded in the understanding that the pig has to come first in whatever decision is made.
