🚨👶 BREAKING NEWS FROM HAND’S VETERINARY CLINIC! 👶🚨

Well folks, the wait is finally over!!! BABY HAND HAS ARRIVED! ❤️🎉

🍼 Official Baby Hand Arrival Report:

📅 Date: November 2, 2026

⏰ Time: 11:18 AM

⚖️ Weight: 7 pounds, 4 ounces

📏 Length: 20.5 inches

❤️ Momma and baby are both doing GREAT!

Dad, on the other hand, is running on caffeine, little to no sleep, and trying to figure out how something so tiny can be the boss of an entire household! 😂

We are home and working on figuring out our new routine as quickly as possible! Turns out, this little bundle of joy didn’t come with an owner’s manual, and apparently my veterinary degree doesn’t cover newborn babies! 🤣🍼

🐄🐎🐐 NOW, BACK TO BUSINESS (SORT OF)!

I will officially be STARTING FARM CALLS AGAIN ON MONDAY!

I have quite the mountain of voicemails and text messages to work through, so please bear with me as I get caught up!

🚨 IF YOU NEED A FARM CALL THIS WEEK OR WOULD LIKE TO GET ON THE SCHEDULE:

Please send me a text that says:

📱 “FARM CALL” followed by what you need done and what animals need seen.

This will help me sort through messages, prioritize calls, and get everyone taken care of much faster! My brain is currently operating on about 3 hours of sleep, so let’s make this as easy as possible! 😂

❤️ LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST!

Maggie and I cannot thank everyone enough for all the love, prayers, messages, and check-ins over the past couple of weeks. We are beyond blessed to have such an amazing group of family, friends, and clients supporting us!

We love and appreciate each and every one of you more than you know! Thank you for your patience as we adjust to this exciting new chapter!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a new little boss at home who doesn’t care that Dad has a full work schedule! 🤣❤️

Love,

Kris & Maggie ❤️

P.S. — I’ve delivered calves, pulled lambs, and handled plenty of difficult births, but apparently none of that prepared me for being a first-time dad! 😂🐄👶

💕 A Little Life Update from the Hands! 💕👶🍼

Hey there, sweet friends, family, and all of our wonderful supporters!

The countdown is officially on, and our hearts are overflowing with excitement, love, and just a few butterflies! 🥹💙

Maggie and I are so excited to share that we will be heading to the hospital on October 30th to begin the induction process and, God willing, welcome our sweet little bundle of joy into the world! 👶❤️

As we prepare to begin this beautiful new chapter of our lives and officially earn the titles of Mom and Dad, I will be taking a few days away from work to soak up every precious moment with my growing family. Once we are home, settled in, and finding our rhythm, I do plan to resume farm calls and continue caring for all of your four-legged family members! 🐄🐴🐾

I do plan to keep my phone close by during this time, but please bear with me if I am a little slower than usual to answer calls, texts, or messages. My hands and heart are about to be a little fuller than normal! ❤️

We truly cannot put into words how blessed we feel to have such an incredible circle of family, friends, clients, and community members cheering us on. The love, prayers, encouragement, and support we have received throughout this journey have meant more to us than you will ever know.

And to everyone who keeps checking in to ask, “IS THAT BABY HERE YET?!” 😂 We promise, we are just as anxious and excited as you are! We cannot wait to share the wonderful news when our little blessing finally makes an appearance!

Thank you all for being part of our lives, supporting our little family, and allowing me to do what I love every day. We are beyond grateful, and we cannot wait to introduce the newest little member of the Hand family! 🍼💕

Here’s to tiny fingers, tiny toes, sleepless nights, a whole lot of love, and the greatest adventure of our lives! ❤️

With lots of love and gratitude,

Kris & Maggie Hand 💕👶

Good Monday morning guys. I am so sorry for the inconvenience this past week and weekend. I have been sick. I am trying to reach back out to all of the phone calls and text messages, but it will take some time! Thanks, Dr Kris

Let’s support the hard work the kids put in this year!!!! So proud of everyone of them!

There are some fair traditions that are about so much more than what happens in the ring.

The Morrow County Jr. Fair Livestock Sale is one of them.

For generations, families in our community have raised livestock, raised kids, and raised them to understand the value of hard work, responsibility, commitment and seeing a job through to the end.

Long before the fairgrounds fill with people, these kids are already working.

They've spent early mornings feeding. Late nights in the barn. Hot summer days washing, walking and practicing. They've learned that animals don't care if you're tired, busy, on vacation or would rather sleep in. They depend on you — every single day.

And somewhere along the way, they're learning lessons that reach far beyond the show ring.

They're learning responsibility.
They're learning patience.
They're learning how to win with humility and lose with grace.
They're learning to shake someone's hand, look them in the eye and say thank you.
They're learning that hard work matters.

For many families, this tradition has been passed from grandparents, to parents, to children — with generations standing along the same barns and show rings, sharing the same nervous excitement they remember from their own Jr. Fair days.

And on Monday morning, our community gets to be part of that tradition.

When you purchase an animal or place an add-on, you're doing more than supporting one project. You're telling a young person:

“We saw your hard work. We're proud of you. Keep going.”

That support may help pay for next year's project, college, a first vehicle, equipment, or whatever comes next — but the encouragement behind it can stay with these kids for a lifetime.

❤️ This is what a county fair is all about.

It's agriculture.
It's tradition.
It's generations of families.
It's neighbors supporting neighbors.
It's businesses investing in local youth.
It's 4-H and FFA. 🍀💙💛
It's hardworking kids becoming hardworking adults.

And it's a community showing up for the next generation.

Come fill the seats Monday morning. Raise a hand. Become a buyer. Add on to an exhibitor.

Most importantly, show these kids that Morrow County stands behind them.

Support the kids. Support agriculture. Carry on the tradition.

Update guys!!!! Hope everyone is well. I am back from vacation and very overwhelmed with all of the voicemails and text messages. I was able to keep up with the texting but the voicemails got out of control to keep up with. I am still trying to reach out to all who called.

We again are blessed to have each one of you as family/clients and thank you for trusting us. I do have a very exciting update. We now have an online pharmacy for all animals. This launched on June 1st. I did not realize that they were going to send all clients an email about it. I’m truly sorry for that but it’s pretty exciting with one more step trying to help you all out.

Fill your pet's medications from the comfort of your home

Hey family!!! I just wanted to make a little post and tell everyone that I am going on vacation May 25 through June 6. Like all of the other times, I will have my phone near me for guidance, but I will not be able to come out to the farms. I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience!

Good evening guys!!! As we are entering spring, which is busy time of year, I want to let you all know that we are starting to book out further due to being very busy. I do try to fit in emergencies, but it is definitely getting harder to offer with working full time at the small animal clinic.

If I am not able to make it, we still have OSU Columbus to trailer to and OSU Marysville that will travel to our area. I know this isn’t ideal, but all of the clinics around us are in the same position.

ON THE OTHER HAND……

This upcoming Saturday is our second and last drive thru equine vaccine clinic day. We only have 7 spots left to fill!!!! Let’s get these filled and help get your horses up to date on vaccines for the year and/or coggins done for this year at a cheaper rate!!!!!!
