She was in private veterinary practice for 11 years and worked for a sustainable agriculture organization for nine years. She is a nationally known speaker on sustainable and organic livestock production and has chosen to use her veterinary degree and real-world experience to keep animals healthy rather than treat them when they get sick. She believes that nutrition is the key to healthy livestock and is a proponent of managed grazing as the way to provide the best nutrition and financial return. For several years, Wells also worked with Heifer International, researching parasite management strategies to reduce the need for anthelmintic drugs.

Newcomers to the area and established residents are invited to attend.
