"Attending the Grahm School was an amazing experience, the hands on learning was second to none. Every instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the week. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the ultrasound portion of the class at the end of the week. I bought an ultrasound machine from the school and put it to use when I got home. Using the ultrasound I preg checked 1800 head this fall and was reassured when my uncle (who has preg checked for 30+ years) rechecked what I had called open and I hadn’t missed one. The skills I learned from the school will be financially beneficial for our operation. I highly recommend the Grahm School for anyone in the cattle industry." -Nate, Wyoming
