This is a TRUELY great show. This was the type of vets we had when I grew up on a farm in C. Iowa(Boone County, Ogden). All the Vets we had/used were kind of rough around the edges but had a heart of GOLD for animals.
What galls me is the producers block out some of the more gruesome scenes such as when a calf is pulled or other “icky” things so the citified watchers won’t be turned off.
I’m a country boy, I can handle it. Now that I think of it, I have handled it, from reaching up in cows to turn a calf around to helping cut one up after she died while being dehorned.
