After graduation he spent 2 years working as a dairy veterinarian in Chino, California. Missing home, he came back to Minnesota working for a mixed animal practice and as a consulting veterinarian for Select Sires before settling in at Freeport Veterinary Service in 2000.

Tom is married with 4 children, and is living on his home farm where they raise Red Angus cattle and Saanen dairy goats.

The family is active in 4-H, so the farm also has horses, rabbits, chickens, ducks and occasional hogs. He spends his spare time farming, hunting and fishing.

My name is Dr. Steve Baldwin and I graduated from Delaware Valley University of Doylestown, PA with a BS in Animal Science, then from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.  My clinical, and final, year of schooling took place at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I took full advantage 

My name is Dr. Steve Baldwin and I graduated from Delaware Valley University of Doylestown, PA with a BS in Animal Science, then from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.  My clinical, and final, year of schooling took place at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I took full advantage of being in ‘America’s Dairyland’ and loved every minute of it.  I grew up on a small Holstein dairy farm in northwest New Jersey, but once I discovered the Midwest, I knew it was where I belonged.  My areas of interest circle around improving the dairy industry, such as calf health management, transition cow assessment, and cow comfort.
