Study association "De Veetelers" has its own song. It is in Dutch and tells you who Veetelers are and what they do:

· Live in Wageningen
· Love animals
· Party
· Drink beer
· Work at Zodiac
· Love the country in stead of the city
· Are lead by a Board
· Have a lot of committees and sub-associations
· Can sing very good

It was composed in 2004 during a Board Weekend. It was recorded in a professional studio.  The result can be heared on the website. Click here (MP3) to sing the song loud and clear.

melody: Land van Maas en Waal

Chorus:

Tussen twee hoge bergen,
in het Wageningse land,
zie je feestende studenten,
met een biertje in de hand.
Wat is dat toch voor 'n volkje,
ze drinken allemaal
en raken soms verstrikt in hun eigen dierentaal.
De koeien, varkens, kippen en de vissen zijn de klos,
want in de buurt van deze beesten komt een Vééééételer pas los.

We brengen onze tijd op het Zodiac door.
Uiteindelijk ingenieur, daar gaan we allen voor.
Ontspanning in de kroeg, wat later op de dag.
Dat is óók iets wat je van ons verwachten mag.

Zalk, Zijtaart, Breugel en ook van Goerree,
Daar komen we vandaan, maar daar zitten wij niet mee.
De geur van de provincie dat doet ons allen goed.
Das beter dan dat stadse, want dat zit niet in ons bloed.

Chorus

Aan het hoofd van deze meute, staat het Bestuur.
Die behoren te blijven tot het laatste uur.
Ze krijgen erg veel hulp uit het veetelersland.
Commissies en clubjes, zijn hun rechterhand.

Dit is het lied voor de veeteeltstudent.
Hiermee kun je zien, of je een echte bent.
Kun je niet zingen, brul dan maar mee.
Als je veel geluid maakt vinden wij het snel oké.

Chorus

Jennie

Jennie is the association cow of the “Veetelers”. Since the beginning of 2015 she lives in the barn at Carus. Her father is DELTA ATLANTIC and she is 100% Holstein Friesian. Her birthday is on the 27th of December (2012). She weighs around 603 kg. On the 20th of November 2015 she has given birth to her calf. Hopefully she will grow up to be a noble research cow and they might soon enjoy each other’s company in the stable. If you ever happen to be at Carus, you can recognise her by the number 5758.

Ellen

Ellen is one of the research cats of Carus and was born in 2014. She likes to be around people, so she is definitely an association animal! Her caretakers say that she performs well in tests. She is quite famous and many people want to adopt her. This will happen soon, which means that a new association cat will be named soon as well. When that happens, you can read it here.

Berend

Berend is the association pig of “de Veetelers”. He arrived at Carus in March 2019. He is of the breed Duroc, that is why his fur is a nice red color. Berend is a very nice boar and he is used for detecting sows in heat. When it is possible again, he will be used in the sperm practicals for Biology of Domestic Animals as well.
