We tried to remember how many years Taylor has been coming with us, but none of us could remember. 😂

It’s been somewhere between 1-5 years.
I think…. ❓

To see the progression from timid to cautious to confident has been amazing.

We’ve checked a few things off the list:
✅ Castrated my donkeys
✅ Pregnancy checked mares
✅ IV sedation to horses
✅ Gastroscopy
✅ Radiographs
✅ Dentals

Hopefully you learned a few things, and we didn’t scare you off!😂 Best of luck in your third year!

They have so many questions/comments now about bull testing. 🐮

“Jordyn, which job would you rather do? The butt (running the probe) or the p***s (catching the semen)?”

“He’s balls are really big.”
“We say testicles.”
“Sorry, mom. His testicles are huge.”

“Is that his p***s?”
“No, that’s his prepuce.”
“That’s gross.”

If we can survive the questions, I think Jordyn and I are training ourselves out of parts of our jobs at least. 😂

On today's episode of horses and their shenanigans, we have this gem.
I'm no expert on equine anatomy, but I think you should try and keep your major blood vessels covered.

I remember garage parties looking a lot different. I must be getting old.

Good Friday is always eventful. Tillie and Everett definitely got their money’s worth!

• Bull testing 🐂
• Horse dentals 🐴
• Re**al prolapse
• Vaginal prolapse
• Eye removal 👁️
• C-section
• Broken leg
• Plasma transfusions 💉
• Necropsies 🔪

Did they eat their lunches by 9:45? Yes 🍲

Did they bail on the eye removal? Maybe😂

Did they make fun of Jordyn because she hates the curdled milk when we necropsy calves? Also maybe 🥛

Did they make it through a 14 hour day with only one fight? Yes. That was probably the biggest miracle. 👍🏻

“How’s calving season going?”
You mean bull testing?

“No, calving season.”
Ah yes, you’re talking about pregnancy checking.

“No…..calving….”
Uh, it seems to all be one these days.

Seasonality seems to be out, and every day is fair game for any part of the life cycle. 😂

This calving school was the best thing I’ve been a part of in quite a while! 🐄

Cow model ✅
Calf model ✅
60 kids✅
Mass chaos✅
Epic day✅

I won’t lie, the day was intense. 😂
There was a lot of kids to rotate through in a short time, but we did it!

NDSU Extension - Ward County did an amazing job providing all these kids opportunities to learn. Besides the calving model, they learned about giving injections, banding calves, nutrition, tagging, and record keeping.

I’m still not sure who had more fun, me or the kids. 😂

~*~February Equine Health Special~*~

Let’s get your horses ready for this upcoming rodeo season! Before you send them swimming or off to somewhere warmer to get back in shape, make sure your horses are up to date on vaccines and dental work.

Rules:
Because there’s always someone who abuses the system, I have to add rules. I know a majority of you do all of this already. I have to put it out there so that everyone is on the same page.🙂

- This is for appointments scheduled during the month of February ONLY.

- If your appointment has to be rescheduled due to weather or conflicts, the discounted pricing will NOT be honored.

- You must pay at the time of service. If you have an unpaid account balance, you will not qualify for the discounted pricing.

Thank you for your understanding!
