Rick Sibbel, DVM, received the American Association of Swine Veterinarians’ 2026 Howard Dunne Memorial Award on March 2 during the association’s 57th Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada. The award recognizes an AASV member who has made important contributions and provided outstanding service to the association and the swine industry.
Sibbel was born and raised on a family farm in Butte, Nebraska. As the oldest of six children, he shared daily responsibility with his brothers and sisters for much of the farm animal work, including working at the family’s small livestock auction market. Around 12 years old, he decided that a veterinary career gave him the best chance to make a positive impact on people and agriculture. He went on to receive his BS from the University of Nebraska and DVM from Iowa State University.
