I recently had a phone conversation with a client about building new facilities. After the phone call, I began recalling the places that I have feared for my life while preg checking, semen-testing bulls and/or delivering calves. Right or wrong, I know the veterinarian’s safety may not be top of mind, but when taking into consideration animal welfare, the value of the livestock and the cost of labor getting injured on the job, there is really no excuse not to have safe facilities to handle cattle.
