Show Hfr -- you know what ?? You never cease to AMAZE me -- instead of trying to be possitive, you always seem to hit on the negatives.
As we speak -- just so you know, the state board is trying it's BEST to rework the regs and allow those who show ability and a track history to stay doing what we all love!
There is only ONE guy in this entire state who feels he is better than us all, and HE is the one who has turned in those several people. In his mind, I am sure, he is doing something to follow the written laws, but in reality -- it is all about the money and greed. He uses the RX laws to make it right -- but it is all about him.
So in case you may like jabbing me or others here -- try and remember who tried to help you with your ultrasound work over in MIssouri a couple years ago, it is not WHAT you know most of the time, it is WHO.
I have never stepped on any toes out here, I have many customers who like what I do, and I cause no annimosity for any of the local and long distance vets. They are for the most part all my friends. I like it that way.
No one can trully TEACH ET and it's up's and down's BETTER than just plain old hard work and lots of cows. Get a few of the basics, and let the cows teach you from there. Problem is, you have to get really lucky to have the right place to start -- and that means a fairly large place with lots of cows, and even more patience. 28 years ago I had that chance, and for the next 7 years I works for only 2 ranches to perfect what I do. I am so glad I met those folks, and they got alot of good work done while got better atit. WE all learned together back then, it is different today, not saying it's better, just different!
The older I get, the more I am cosidering looking into a start up course of some sort to helpall you young people at least be able to do some of your own works. If not the flush -- then at least the implants. Implants take more experience that alot of the best A-I techs even have, it is simply a matter of going into no mans land when you put eggs in, some where that no semen ever gets deposited. Long story.
