Shared heritage of veterinary medicine and the U.S. cattle industry

Veterinary medicine and cattle production have a long, shared heritage. I imagine as people first started domesticating cattle to provide meat and milk, certain individuals had a particular interest in their health and well-being. Historical artifacts from as early as the Bronze Age indicate that there have long been people who were called upon to provide their expertise in the care and health of animals.
