Nora Bahr UC Davis undergraduate, 4th year Major: Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology An action shot of photogenic Romeo This week was quite a whirlwind for me. My roommate had been visiting home and came back to Davis feeling a bit under the weather. On Monday, she took a COVID-19 rapid test and it came back positive. A couple days later, I began to feel sick, and I too tested positive for COVID. This threw quite a wrench into the exciting plans we had planned for the pigs.

Nora Bahr UC Davis undergraduate, 4th year Major: Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology As Romeo rocketed around the stall like a small missile, Claire and I shared a wide-eyed and slightly terrified look. This week, we focused on harness training, having already gotten the piglets used to human touch.

Nora Bahr UC Davis undergraduate, 4th year Major: Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology My journey to this position began when I was very young. Every year around Easter time, my family would make the journey to my grandparent's goat farm in Virginia. I would spend entire days in the field with the goats. One year, my grandmother woke me up at the crack of dawn to tell me that one of the pregnant females was in labor. I jumped up and followed her to the barn, where I watched the kids being born (a simultaneously gross and amazing sight). I named one of the kids Lily, and we became in separable. These annual trips shaped my love for animals.
