Passing on the torch: A career change for this veterinarian

December 5, 2022
Jacob Geis

As you may remember from a post earlier this year, I had my arm cut open after pregging one too many cows. The joys of surgery and nearly losing my mind being restricted from doing much of anything were enough to make a guy think twice about what he’s doing with his life.

Ranch kid ABCs

October 28, 2022
Erica Louder

"Pa-pa-pa avocado. See, Mom, it starts with P, not with A," says the very sure-of-himself 4-year-old Ethan. "No, bud. Ah-ah-ah avocado. It starts with A," I say, trying to be as reasonable as possible. He insists, "No, my teacher says it starts with a P." He then folds his arms and glares at me.

Horse girls

July 5, 2022
Jim Walker
Some years ago, I was in Dallas for one of the charity events we support, and a guy asked me what I “do.” I gave my usual, “I’m in agriculture,” which always seems to lead to the inquiry of whether we have a ranch and then to the rather personal follow up question of, “How big is it?” But he caught me off-guard with, “That’s the life.
