He earned a bachelor’s degree in animal science in 1983 and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1987, both from Michigan State University. His first job was at a mixed animal practice in southwest Michigan. After two years, he moved to a swine-only practice in central Indiana. In 1993, Kober started a swine-only practice in Holland, Mich., where he practiced until 2020. He now owns and operates a 4,200-head contract finishing barn and does independent consulting, primarily on water quality for all livestock species.
