Veterinarian Overview
Jennafer's childhood was filled with 4-H and FFA (formerly Future Farmers of America) activities, further increasing her understanding of her beloved livestock. While exhibiting her dairy cattle, rabbits, and poultry at the Nebraska State Fair, Jennafer won several state championships in the 4-H and FFA exhibitions. Jennafer also proved an accomplished judge, earning state championships in poultry and dairy judging and dairy management evaluation. Following high school, Jennafer attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, graduating with dual Bachelor Degrees in Animal Science and Veterinary Science. Jennafer was in the inaugural class of the Iowa State and UNL Profressional Program in Veterinary Medicine. After moving to Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Glaesemann earned her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2011. While she received job offers elsewhere, Dr. Glaesemann really wanted a practice of her own. Knowing that she wanted to work mostly with large animals in a rural area, she methodically conducted a search throughout the United States. Dr. Glaesemann spoke with many practice owners and visited several practices in person, including the veterinary clinic Dr. Glaesemann was familiar with in her childhood. Dr. Glaesemann purchased Blue Valley Veterinary Clinic, only 26 miles from her childhood home. She joined the staff as an associate veterinarian in 2011 while she worked to finalize the clinic purchase. For three generations, Dr. Glaesemann's family has worked in Beatrice, and now she has proudly joined them. Dr. Glaesemann's family members have been delighted to assist her in keeping the practice running smoothly. Her parents fill in as front desk help, while her younger brother Aaron frequently travels from Lincoln to handle technology-related tasks. Dr. Glaesemann's older brother Nathan also pitches in when needed. (Nathan and Aaron put the roof back on the horse loafing shed in March/April 2016, and it looks pretty spiffy!)
