Embrace the Change We’re all playing new roles in this beef tech world By Dr. Arn Anderson, DVM     “HI!!  HOW ARE YOU?  AND THE KIDS?”  I always knew when my grandmother was speaking long distance.  It made sense (sort of); if she was in Wyoming and the rest of the clan was in Texas why […]

By Dr. Arn Anderson, DVM I could not get a word in edgewise.  The afterhours caller seemed to not even breathe as she unveiled a rehearsed dissertation on the events of her afternoon.  Without a single audible inhale or exhale Mrs. Symington described the pathetic scene.
