Carol Balvanz
Part time Receptionist and Accounts Payable Clerk
Carol graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in English and Speech communications in 1973. Read More...
Her favorite part of veterinary medicine is being able to help her family members. She and her husband have always raised cattle, horses and various pets, so she been involved in animal health and production. This job has given her the opportunity to learn more about the technical side of animal care and treatment.
In her spare time, Carol enjoys spending time with her grandsons on the farm, and attending their sporting events. She loves tending her flower beds and yard in the summer, and working with the livestock year round, as well as sewing, knitting and quilting.
She has three house cats: Ernie, Skippy and Lolo. Ernie is the rescue cat with an attitude. Skippy is a pretty blue-eyed Himalayan, and Lolo is a long-haired dark tiger. Tonto, a tuxedo kitten Casey bottle fed two springs ago also lives with them and torments the resident cats. They have two border collies, Hank and Dale, who help with the livestock, and they frequently take care of Casey’s dogs, Woody (corgi) and Zesta (white lab.) Their menagerie also includes 80 crossbred cows, 3-4 horses and many outside cats.
