There isn’t a cattleman alive who would argue against a strong relationship with their local veterinarian. While rural vets often grace our barns and working pens at odd hours, the optimum time to build a relationship and herd success plan probably isn’t at 3:00 a.m. while wrapping up a c-section. 

On this episode of Angus At Work, we invite you to take a seat and join the conversation as our host Shauna Hermel chats with Randall Spare, president and veterinarian at Ashland Veterinary Center, regarding his experience with herd health consultation, problem solving with producers and how cattlemen play an important role in telling the story of beef.
