Meet Our Doctors

• QMS Managing Partner
• Software Developer

A Central Valley native, I grew up north of Turlock in the small agricultural community of Hughson. At the University of California, Davis, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and my DVM from the University of California, School of Veterinary Medicine. Upon graduation, I joined Lander Vet and have been part of the staff family for 24 years.

My main focuses are developing software and managing the drug sales division.

My free time centers around my three wonderful children, Quinn, Rory, and Juniper. Backpacking, hiking, running, and gardening are among my other interests

I was born and raised in Turlock, CA where I grew up showing dairy cows in 4-H and FFA. I was actively involved in the Modesto Portuguese Pentecost Association and served as a centennial queen. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Dairy Science from Cal Poly, SLO in 2021. While at Cal Poly I worked as a milker on the dairy and helped put on FFA field days. I was extensively involved in Western Bonanza and the Los Lecheros Dairy Club. 

I received my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the University of California Davis in 2026. While at Davis, I worked on many livestock species, including sheep, goats, swine, cattle and exotic hoof stock such as deer, water buffalo and zebu. I have a particular interest in bucking stock and worked with them for a large portion of my clinical year (ask me about my coolest patients!). I also have a soft spot for small ruminants and greatly enjoy working with their quirky personalities. Ultimately my love for cattle is what brought me into this profession and I am excited to be back in my hometown to serve the dairies I grew up around! 

When I’m not working you can find me hanging out with my rescue dachshund (Winnie aka Ween), spending time with my family and friends, attending festas, reading, wine tasting, traveling and getting to the beach anytime I get the chance!  

• Associate Veterinarian
• Since 2006
• Oregon State University

Born and raised in Oregon, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science at Oregon State University – Go Beavers! Then it was off to veterinary school at Ross University on the island of St. Kitts. My clinical rotation was completed at the University of Illinois and there received my DVM degree. I’ve been on staff here at Lander Veterinary Clinic since graduating.

As a veterinarian at Lander, I most enjoy being outdoors and working with cows (The “Mothers of Civilization” – sent by God) and helping our dairymen, who are the most down-to-earth people around! It’s the perfect combination of all the things I love to do in the fascinating world of animal medicine.

Spending quality time with my wife, Lynette, (also a veterinarian), and our two daughters, Deryn and Delilah is only paused for a bit during college football season… attention then turns solely to my beloved OSU Beavers!

Dr. A. Paul Bos is a veterinarian specializing in dairy production medicine, with more than three decades of experience serving dairy producers throughout California’s Central Valley. He is the former owner of Almond Valley Veterinary Clinic and, as of 2023, an associate veterinarian at Lander Veterinary Clinic, where he provides herdlevel health management, preventive medicine, and production efficiency consulting.

A graduate of the Atlantic Veterinary College (DVM, 1990), Dr. Bos also completed graduate studies in ruminant nutrition and earned Dairy Production Medicine Certificates from the University of California, Davis. His work integrates nutrition, health, and management to improve longterm herd performance. Dr. Bos serves on the board of Sage Sensors, a veterinary bioengineering company developing advanced sensor technologies for livestock health monitoring. He has been an active member of the American Association of Bovine Practitioners since 1990, contributing to the nformatics

• Lander Veterinary Partner emeritus
• Herd Reproductive Management
• Overall herd health, including youngstock development, milk quality, immunology, and implementing treatment protocols
• Financial literacy

Most folks know me as “Dr. Bob”. I’m originally from New Jersey and received my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from Rutgers University and DVM degree from Purdue University, College of Veterinary Medicine in Indiana.

Having practiced as a clinical veterinarian at Lander for over 36 years, I still very much enjoy working with livestock and our great livestock producers. I especially love working outside (on nice days). It brings me back to the days when I practiced in New England and ran a Jersey dairy farm before moving to California. Problem-solving now on behalf of my clients is most rewarding.

Currently, my focus is on herd reproductive management and overall dairy management. Collaborating with my colleagues on specific dairy issues makes serving a great group of clients very gratifying. I am proud that I have been the primary herd veterinarian for a number of my clients for decades, and I cherish those long-standing relationships.

I am married to Lisa, a longtime nurse. We have two adult children and  three amazing grandchildren! I enjoy spending my free time in the great outdoors and nature photography.

• Previously served on the International Council for Veterinary Assessments.
• Previously served on the AVMA’s Council on Education.
• Graduate of Class 29 in the California Agriculture Leadership Program
• Currently grain farm in Indiana and have a small menagerie of cattle, goats, chickens, dogs and cats on our ranchette

I was born and raised in southern Manitoba, Canada on a mixed grain and beef farm. My passion for agriculture and animals stemmed from working on the family farm and my mother who shared her passion as a veterinarian with me. Upon graduation from high school, I worked on a dairy and commercial farrowing barn where my interests quickly shifted toward production medicine!

I started my Bachelor of Science in Agriculture at the University of Guelph before completing my D.V.M at the Univeristy of Saskatchewan in Canada. Throughout veterinary school I worked across western Canada with a variety of different dairy and beef producers. I also took part in an Advanced Beef Production Medicine rotation in Alberta and the Summer Dairy Institute held at Cornell. My specific interests are bovine reproduction and fertility, herd health, cow-calf herd dynamics and lamb production. 

Outside of veterinary medicine, I enjoy the outdoors and fishing in the ‘Great White North’ and I’m excited to see what California has to offer. I’ve also competed in a variety of different sports and still enjoy playing hockey, golf, volleyball and basketball.

• Student & Herdsman Training

Born and raised in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture from Nova Scotia Agricultural College in 1998. Prior to attending veterinary school, I worked on a dairy farm in Onslow, Nova Scotia milking cows and helping run the dairy. For over two years I was then employed as a pharmaceutical representative for Bimeda-MTC Animal Health.

My Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine was received at the University of Prince Edward Island Atlantic Veterinary College in 2005. Upon graduation, I immediately began practice at Lander Veterinary Clinic. My passion is for everything COW… It’s the reason I moved halfway across the world to work for Lander!

That same passion extends to animal welfare and my back yard is full of rescue animals (ducks, cows, dogs, cats…) I enjoy working as the student coordinator for the Clinic, responsible for setting up externships with students the world over.

Outside of work, I can usually be found participating in some sports event: playing in two soccer leagues, two softball leagues, and have recently become a cycling addict. In between, I enjoy hiking, camping, and social events.

Memberships:

• Vice-President of the Northern San Joaquin Valley Veterinary Medical Association (NSJVMA).
• Alternate delegate for the House of Delegates for the CVMA, member of the CVMA, AABP and AVMA.

I was raised in Exeter, CA where I learned to love agriculture and the outdoors from my parent’s gun shop and family’s cattle ranch. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo (2020) and then a Master Degree in Biomedical Sciences and Animal Anatomy from Colorado State. I then obtained my DVM from The Ohio State University in 2026. During vet school, I grew my love for the dairy industry by traveling to all the major dairy regions to learn more and by completing the Summer Dairy Institute. 

Outside of veterinary medicine, I enjoy photography, spending time in the outdoors, and hosting dinner parties.

I grew up in Illinois and attended the University of Illinois where I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Sciences with a focus on dairy production in 2013. I then completed a summer internship with Prairie State Select Sires prior to attending veterinary school at the University of Wisconsin. Upon graduation in 2017 I worked as an associate veterinarian at a six-doctor dairy clinic in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin before serving as part of the management team for a large dairy enterprise milking 20,000+ cows between Nebraska and Wisconsin, where I gained valuable insight as both veterinarian and producer. I was heavily involved in employee management and training, transition cow management, protocol design, and implementation, and coordinating the other day-to-day activities on the dairy.  I was also incredibly fortunate to spend one month in Puebla, Mexico to study the Spanish language and local culture.

Since moving to California, I’ve been proud to be a small part of the legacy of Lander Veterinary Clinic. I have a great passion for helping our dairy clients identify major management opportunities and help achieve their farm’s individual goals.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, rugby, weight-lifting, trying new foods and wine, and enjoying everything California has to offer with my partner, Veronica, and faithful feline, Harley Quinn.

Dr. Michael Steine grew up in rural Norway and spent most waking hours working for the local farmers when he wasn’t studying. Knowing his passion was with the dairy industry, he attended The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies in Edinburgh, Scotland. With a veterinary degree in hand, Dr. Steine practiced in England and Australia before settling in California at Lander Veterinary Clinic in January of 2005.

Michael focuses on health, nutrition and herd management consulting and works with dairy producers in the Western US and internationally. Dr. Steine continuously strives to increase his nutritional knowledge to pass on the latest understanding of rumen health, sound nutrition and herd management to maximize his clients’ productivity and profitability.

Originally from Georgia, I received my Bachelor of Science in Animal Science from Berry College (2013), my Masters of Science in Animal and Veterinary Sciences from Clemson University (2015), and my DVM from the University of Georgia (2019). 

I have worked at Lander since graduating from vet school and have enjoyed living and working on the west coast. My specific veterinary interests include calf thoracic ultrasound, colostrum management, calf health, and milk quality. 

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter, as well as our pets. We enjoy traveling around California and internationally. I enjoy skiing, wine tasting, reading, and truly terrible reality television. 

I grew up in Northwest Ohio, where I received my Bachelor’s Science Degree while double majoring in Animal Science and Biology with a Chemistry minor at the University of Findlay. I attended Lincoln Memorial University College of Veterinary Medicine, where I received my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2020. I practiced initially in Northern California as a mixed animal veterinarian prior to moving to large animal full-time.

I participated in both 4-H and FFA in which I received both my State and National Awards for my work with our remaining dairy cattle as well as the Registered Cheviot Sheep flock that I started when younger. I exhibited our Registered Holsteins and Registered Cheviots at both county, regional and state shows. While working closely with my grandfather on the dairy and our local veterinarian, my interest in food animal veterinary medicine blossomed. I enjoy working with our food animal producers with herd health, surgery and advanced reproductive practices in small ruminants such as laparascopic artificial insemination, embryo transfer and oocyte pick-up.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter. At the house, we have a registered cheviot sheep flock that was brought in from the Midwest, a horse and chickens as our outdoor animals and then 3 Australian Cattle Dogs, a Border Collie and a cat indoors. The dogs all compete in various sports including frisbee, dock diving, agility, obedience, rally, herding and barnhunt. My wife and I enjoy competing with our dogs together. If there is any time left over, I enjoy lifting weights and playing the saxophone.

Originally from Prineville, Oregon, I grew up in a ranching family who raised beef cattle and sheep. I grew up showing and evaluating livestock at local, regional, and national levels since the age of 5. Yet, it wasn’t until my senior year of high school that I decided to dedicate my life to veterinary medicine. 

I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology from Oregon State University (2019). Prior to attending veterinary school, I worked for several veterinary practices as a veterinary assistant where I learned a lot of the technical and interpersonal skills I would need in my career. I then attended Lincoln Memorial University College of Veterinary Medicine, graduating with my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 2025. 

I joined Lander Veterinary Clinic directly after graduation in 2025 and have enjoyed my time here! My specific interest is beef cattle medicine including reproduction on both the bull and cow sides of your operation (breeding soundness exams, trichomoniasis and brucellosis testing, embryo transfer, and ovum pick-up).

Outside of work, I enjoy hanging out with my dog Flynn, going outside (camping, hiking, paddle boarding, kayaking), hand embroidery, and spending time with friends and family. If I can find any more time, I also enjoy CrossFit and Olympic Style Weightlifting.
