President's Message

Friends and Colleagues,

“Where your focus goes, energy flows.”

This quote has stuck with me through multiple chapters of life: as a student-athlete, a veterinarian, a business owner, and now as IVMA President. November can feel like the month where distractions creep in. We are tired. We are juggling year-end deadlines, family commitments, and shorter daylight hours. However, what if we flip the narrative. November is also a month of thanks, a time to gather with family and friends, to pause and reflect on what we are grateful for, and to reconnect with what matters most. Where we place our focus this month… on the overwhelm or on the gratitude, can make all the difference in how we finish the year.

Brucellosis & Tuberculosis Eradication Fund
United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has implemented a rule, effective November 5, 2024, requiring official electronic eartags for certain cattle and bison for interstate travel. During the 2025 session, Iowa legislators voted to eliminate the Brucellosis & Tuberculosis Eradication Fund and the associated programs in Senate File 646. Effective July 1, 2025, Iowa taxpayers will no longer be assessed a property tax levy to support the fund and vaccine reimbursements. IDALS will continue reimbursing Iowa veterinarians for brucellosis vaccinations administered through June 30, 2025. Veterinarians should submit vaccine vouchers to the IDALS by July 31 to receive reimbursement. Costs for brucellosis vaccinations administered on or after July 1, 2025, will not be reimbursed. If you have questions or need assistance submitting your vaccine voucher, please contact Blake Ehler at blake.ehler@iowaagriculture.gov.
