This practice is a 100% beef cattle practice. The practice consists largely of reproductive work including pregnancy ultrasound, artificial insemination, breeding soundness exams, etc. as well as cow-calf medicine. Almost all work is completed on the farm/ranch with portable hydraulic chutes/alleys. The average herd size is greater than 200 head. Preventative medicine and reproductive management are key to the practice.
