We are in the prime time to wean calves and make sure they are given the best start to keep gaining! Make sure your weaned calves are set up for success with Primer implants and / or Valcor injectable dewormer!

If you are planning to keep your calves to feed out longer or if you are backgrounding calves these are great products to keep in mind. You will get the full effect of an implant with a dewormer. But coming off grass a dewormer is going to get those calves’ parasites cleaned out to really utilize the feed to its full weight gain potential.

Call or stop in if you have questions about these products or we would be happy to give consults to any other vaccination or weaning protocols.

Happy weaning!

Colic is not a disease, but rather a combination of signs that alert us to abdominal pain in the horse. Colic can range from mild to severe, but it should never be ignored, as many of the conditions that cause colic can become life threatening in a relatively short period of time. Only by quickly and accurately recognizing colic – and seeking qualified veterinary help – can the chance for recovery be maximized.

Virtually any horse is susceptible to colic, so management practices can play a key role in prevention. And although not every case is avoidable, the guidelines listed in the graphic can help you maximize your horse’s health and reduce the risk of colic.

As always, remember that every animal is different depending on age, breed and other health conditions, so be sure to work with your veterinarian to address any concerns specific to your situation!

TECH WEEK SPOTLIGHT:
🌟 Alex Spotanski has been with SLVC for almost 3 years now! He lives in Loup City and a fun fact is he likes to go all out for his Halloween decorations (👀 in pictures) 🕷️ 🎃

🌟 Alex studied Veterinary Technology at Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture in Curtis. He has since been very involved in the animal agricultural industry including working at Adams Land and Cattle and previous to that, the veterinary field. We are glad he found his way back to vet med and even better that he chose SLVC!

Alex brings a lot of cattle knowledge to the clinic including his past experiences with Adams and a lot of the products on the market that we use. He is great with coming up with new ideas and when we can’t find him in the clinic, its because he has found something that needs attention outside to work on or clean up. Like those ‘to do’s’ we did not even know were needed until they were done!

🌟 Alex has two dogs Lena, a 10 yr old Border Collie, and Hank, a 4 year old Border Collie. He also runs a cow/ calf herd with his family. Besides working in the clinic or on the farm, he finds time to keep all his plants alive, hang out with his brothers, catch a concert or see how lucky he can get at the slots! 🍀

Thank you for all that you do, Alex! We are so glad to have you here!

TECH WEEK SPOTLIGHT:
🌟 Aspen Cavalli has been an integral part of SLVC now for 7 years this year! Aspen grew up in Lodgepole Nebraska. A fun fact, she has a twin sister, Trinity!

🌟 Aspen got her bachelors degree from UNK and earned her MS in Beef Cattle Production and Nutrition from UNL in 2022. You can find her at the clinic working on a ration, analyzing feed or mineral, calming a patient during a visit, working cattle, recovering a horse from anesthesia and correcting our inventory! Among many other things, she wears many 🎩s!

🌟 She resides in Kearney with her husband Tyler, their son, Leo and corgi, Chief. Together they like to spend time back home or on the lake or catching a Rockies game. Outside of work, Aspen finds herself spending her time with her family and also enjoys golfing and reading.

Thank you for all you do! We are grateful to have you here, Aspen!
