People say “you can choose your friends, but not your family.” We could turn that expression around though and say “you can choose to be friends with your family.” That step could be especially important if you also choose to work with family every day in veterinary practice.

It’s a packed house today in Fargo, N.D. at the Farm Journal Legacy workshop. Register for the Omaha, Neb., workshop today!
