It’s hard to know what to say when our veterinarian community loses someone who served them so well and who was well loved but we wanted to make sure everyone knows and has a chance to pay their respects. Our hearts go out to his family. Go rest high on that mountain Doc! Our office will be closed Friday so our staff can attend Doc’s funeral.

Kids be marketing your animals to buyers. Buyers you can pre register online if you want. If that doesn’t fit your fancy we also still believe in the good old face to face on Saturday morning.

This is a great article on caring for your chickens in winter!

Heat and light, done right

07/21/2022

We often see warnings about heat stroke in dogs as the temperatures rise, but do you know what to do if you are concerned your dog is actually suffering from heat illness? First, no brainer, remove the dog from the hot environment. Then offer your dog small amounts of cool water over a period of time without forcing them to drink. You can cool your dog by placing a dripping wet towel under them and continuously applying a cool water drench. Avoid cold water to prevent shock. Stop cool water treatment as breathing normalizes or if your dog starts shivering. Never give your dog ibuprofen or Tylenol and in this case, aspirin isn’t a good option either. If you don’t feel your pet is recovering, take them to your vet for treatment that may include hospitalization for fluid and mineral replacement. Most of all, prevent heat stroke by making sure your pets have adequate shade or ventilation and access to plenty of water to drink.

We have one puppy left looking for his family! Let us know if you or anyone you know is interested. Lennon is just bursting with love to give!

We didn’t think to take a picture because we were eating but two old, tired people enjoyed a night out at Milt’s Stage Stop feasting on a delectable Dry Lakes Ranch steak. We sure enjoy associating with our clients and experiencing their success. ❤️ Both come highly recommended and don’t forget the buttery artichoke hearts appetizer! It’s to die for!

We still have some puppies available! F1 Bernedoodles ready to join their new families. If you know anyone in the market for a new best friend, send them our way!

06/21/2022

If you are heartless and can resist this puppy face, stop now. Otherwise, tell your friends, neighbors, family, even the clerk at the grocery store that we have bernedoodles looking for their families! 😍❤️ Dm for more info.

Spring is one of our favorite seasons because we get to welcome so many babies. Today it just happened to be our own mama goat starting us off with quads. Our kids, the people version, got what they wished for when they asked for a bottle feeder or two.

Titan found his people!

MISSING: I went on a little adventure and lost my owners. I am a sweet Corgi and was picked up on Cedar’s Main Street. Have you heard of my people looking for me? I have begged lots of loves off a single, college aged girl but she knows I am looking for my people.

A HORSE MATTERS by Baxter Black

I like living someplace where a horse matters.
There is just some country where horseback is the only way to get the job done. Places where the four-wheeler is a poor second, not to mention a noisy, track-leaving unnatural conveyance. Besides, it’s hard to throw a rope from.

Helicopters can spot and scare, if that’s what you need, but it’s helpless when you have to doctor a calf.

It is a great feeling to be pushing a cow out of a mesquite thicket, packing a dude down the Grand Canyon or tracking a mountain lion on a high ridge, knowing you’re on the perfect tool for the job. You look at a horse different when he’s on the payroll.

I like being a person to whom a horse matters.
It puts me in such good company, Robert E. Lee, Teddy Roosevelt, Rudyard Kipling, Ray Hunt, Queen Elizabeth, Jerry Diaz, Casey Tibbs, cowboys, Mongols, Gauchos, teamsters, Lipazzaners and vaqueros of all kinds.

Granted being a horse person doesn’t make me easier to get along with, better at spelling or richer. It simply gives me a direct connection to one of the most ancient, mutually beneficial interspecies relationships on the planet.

Winston Churchill said, “There is something about the outside of a horse, that is good for the inside of a man.”

I like being there when a horse matters.
When you can’t do the job alone; a cow in the bog, a race against time, a boulder to move, a detour to take, a mountain to cross, a crevice to leap, a war to win, a sweetheart to impress, or...when you’ve gone too far to walk back.
Shakespeare’s King Richard III said when fate hung in the balance, “A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!”

I’ve also come to believe that you either are a horse person or you aren’t. Many who are, never know it because they never have the chance. It’s a primitive acceptance, often mutual. A lack of fear. You see it in some children when they are first introduced to the horse. It always gives me a sense of wonder to be there and help them make their acquaintance. I believe the horse can sense the child’s innate trust. It is the beginning of a natural bond.

I count myself very lucky that I get to be a part of the wonderful world of horse sweat, soft noses, close calls and twilight on the trail.
I like living a life where a horse matters.

We have puppies available! You don’t even need to ask your spouse, just buy one and take it home. They are so cute, they will have to love them right?! Dm for more info!

We love the season of beautiful blossoms and the green spreading across the landscape. However, with the signs of spring we can often see problematic signs of allergies. Many pets suffer from seasonal or environmental allergies which symptoms may include sneezing, excessive itching or licking, skin irritation, ear infections, swollen face, hives, or red watery eyes. If you notice discomfort in your pet, treatments can range from over the counter medicines to a routine shot that will help manage more persistent symptoms.

04/12/2021

Wow! They must have caught our anxious vibes because two are on the ground. Wahoo!

04/12/2021

We are beginning to wonder if they will ever start dropping babies! They are giving us all the signs but when we check on them all we get is wagging tails hoping for more food. Come on mamas!

04/09/2021

Ya’ll it’s Fri-YAY and we hope your weekend is as beautiful as this gorgeous puppy!

03/25/2021

All the mamas are making bags and preparing for the babies coming soon; we are doing what we can to keep them healthy. Proper nutrition is key to preventing pregnancy toxemia in goats and sheep, especially with the fluctuating temperatures we have been experiencing. The main cause of pregnancy toxemia is low blood sugar; symptoms may include apathy, lethargy, poor appetite, rough hair coat, and disorientation. A robust diet including regular portions of grain, can ensure your animals are properly nourished as they finish their last weeks of pregnancy and prepare for delivery.

The fog this morning was stunning and the moisture made the earth feel cleansed. As I watched the beauty of the sun chasing the fog away, I couldn’t help but reflect on how few things in life feel unchanged by technology, including agriculture. I remember the days of standing on a ditch bank while my dad or brothers shoveled mud on a tarp to stop the water and allow it to flow down furrows in the field. Advanced back then was the one piped field where we climbed along the pipe to close and open slides to change the flow of water. Later we helped our dad move the hand lines to water the lawns at the high school. I thought of how the wheel lines in the field in front of me are outdated compared to the efficient, self propelled pivots of today. I appreciated how much has been gained and how much we have lost. Our kids won’t know the days we did, when work was as much a part of life as a phone in your pocket is now. What I wouldn’t give to stand on the tarp and take a few well placed muddy splashes and for the days to feel longer and more full.

I wonder if this is why they say March came in like a lion? She’s the cutest lion we’ve ever seen and if you cross her, just as fierce! Hope you and your animals are surviving the cold, windy weather blowing in the moisture. Stay warm!

This hard working boy met something that wasn’t nice to him and it didn’t even stop him. His owner found the gash when the job was done. We stitched him up and sent him home all while reminiscing about when Doc Blood’s nose could be flipped up like this and he was receiving all the shots to the face. I cried watching but he didn’t shed a tear. You can’t even tell a dog almost ate his nose can you?

03/03/2021

We hate to be partial but this is possibly the cutest, softest cat we know. When you pick him up for loves he even sneaks a lick right on your cheek if you aren’t paying attention. We have loved having him at the office but he loves his family too much to stay!

02/28/2021

“You ain’t never had a friend like me!” These two have been best buds for awhile, unless she bowling balls into him like he is the last pin to knock down. That doesn’t end so well! We are dying to know if she has a litter of bernedoodles brewing, only a couple more weeks before we can tell by ultrasound. Dogs have such variation in hormones through heat cycles and pregnancy, a pregnancy test doesn’t work so it’s a killer wait and see! We will just be over here praying and biting our nails!

A perk to Bryce’s job has been all the rodeos we have attended in Utah and Wyoming, plus we have acquired some pretty talented roping friends. We joked that we were hosting a goat rodeo a few Saturdays ago as we roped our goats to tag, vaccinate, and trim their feet. Let me tell you, we are a lot more likely to fall in with the clowns or pig wrestlers. I laughed myself to tears yesterday just thinking about trying to rope from a horse. If you ever thought rodeo wasn’t skilled, practiced individuals, you are highly mistaken. And if you are looking to feel uncoordinated and foolish, go ahead and throw your first rope. Hats off to all our rodeo and ranching people!

02/28/2021

For a split second I wished them little again but I immediately remembered that we are tired and toddlers and puppies are exhausting. Thank goodness we can still appreciate the pictures!

02/28/2021

We started the afternoon with yard work and building fence which quickly turned to stitches on a horse followed by back to back c sections on cows. The first calf wasn’t formed properly and we will have to share more about it when we aren’t so tired. But we certainly love happy endings and this big red boy is definitely a handsome ending for the second surgery. ❤️
