Learning Agriculture at the State Fair: From Calving Cows to Inspiring Future Veterinarians
6:04

Brad WhiteHOST

P
6:22Patrick SchmitGUEST
I mean, I've, I've only been back for 10 years, but even when I was a kid, you know, watching, you know, the big thing that I liked at the CAB, you know, they pushed really hard for Angus and a big study of actual genomics and actual data of how well the Angus actually puts marbling into the cow.
P
6:39Patrick SchmitGUEST
You know, that's a big, good thing that they did, I think, that, you know...
P
6:43Patrick SchmitGUEST
I mean, there's nothing really wrong with the other breeds, but Angus, on the short term, does a lot better on the rail, takes a lot less time to get to the rail and do good.
P
6:55Patrick SchmitGUEST
Um, they, they're not quite as big as Simmental, but, m- or Charolais, but most of the time they're better.

I think the craziest part is just I never know what I'm gonna get into in the day.

Like, the schedule says something, but, like, our practice, uh, is the true mixed animal.

14:03Patrick SchmitGUEST
You look out to the tent out there, to the exotic animal farm and the camels, that's our clients, too.

Brad WhiteHOST
Do you have a favorite part, or is it the mix that draws you to that type of practice?
