After completing a degree in BVSc at the University of Queensland (UQ), Professor Chenoweth commenced graduate studies on bull fertility supported by the Australian Meat Research Committee. This was followed by a stint in private veterinary practice in northern Queensland before assuming the positions of Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics of Colorado State University and then Associate Professor (Theriogenology) in the Department of Veterinary Large Animal Medicine and Surgery, at Texas A&M University. During this time he completed his PhD ("Studies on Aspects of the Reproductive Function of Young Beef Bulls in Central Queensland") through UQ.
