Yesterday’s obstetrics class was one of the best yet! Using cow models and stillborn calves, we practiced palpating the calves, correcting any malpositions, applying traction to the obstetrical chains, and delivering the calves safely through the pelvis. They are much heavier than they look, and after a long struggle with mine, my teacher suggested I hit the gym before the real thing! 😅 🏋🏼💪🏼

Happy Halloween! Oh wait this is just another day on the job. LDA surgery with a few skin bleeders that apparently were pointed directly at my face. Oops. #cowvet #dairylife #veterinarian #largeanimalvet #lovemyjob #mooimeanboo https://www.instagram.com/p/BpnZQhFjxC2qpdASfEvc_wnPa206CMOcgF6TSY0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2qgispfudn5n

From a sick little heifer calf to breeding age heifer. This pretty little black and white girl was named Sam after I helped save her life with some fluids and supportive care. Her owner is one of my favorite clients. #largeanimalvet #cowvet #lovemyjob #shegrewupsofast #heifer #imgonnamissthesepeople https://www.instagram.com/p/BncsFXSF2wQZQd5VfOOvh0a_ayLEKGonz8micg0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w6ebe84ezj68

What do you do while you wait for your 50 cows to get caught again? Take pictures with the adorable calf you just worked who was napping in the shade. #day167 #100happydaysandbeyond #selfie #calf #largeanimalvet #vettech #cowvet

Taking a little sit down while I waited for more cows to be brought around. It’s always an adventure on the farms. We had a calf get through the fence and start running down the road. We caught him and put him back with his momma. #day146 #100happydaysandcounting #bovinevet #cowvet #largeanimalvet #moo #cowwork

Some days it’s hard to tell if I get more mud or poop on me when preg checking cows. That day it was more mud. #day147 #100happydaysandcounting #ilovemyjob #dirtyjob #mudorpoop #cowvet #largeanimalvet #ambulatoryvet #muddymess
