This week on The Veterinary Viewfinder, hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, examine the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority's (CMA) 2024 report—a document shaking up global veterinary medicine. The CMA's findings on pricing, ownership disclosure, and consumer trust have sparked heated debates across the profession. Ernie and Beckie explain how the CMA found clients often don't know who owns their vet clinic, leading to confusion about costs and care. They discuss the agency's recommendations for mandatory transparency, including requiring clinics to clearly display ownership and pricing for services such as cremation or after-hours care. Beckie highlights the public's growing frustration with hidden fees and the pressure this places on front-desk staff, while Ernie connects the dots to corporate consolidation trends in the U.S. and Australia, where similar oversight may be on the way. Both hosts agree that transparency shouldn't be feared—it's a chance to rebuild client trust and showcase the value of high-quality veterinary care. This episode challenges veterinary leaders to shift their mindset: transparency isn't a threat, it's an opportunity. If you're a clinic owner, technician, or manager wondering what this report could mean for your practice—or your clients—this is the episode to hear. #VeterinaryPodcast #VetMed #VetClinicLife #VeterinaryTransparency #CMAReport #PriceTransparency #CorporateVetMed #GlobalVetMed #VeterinaryLeadership #FutureOfVetMed

Brad kicks off a solo episode (recorded before a trip to Germany) and turns the mic to rangeland scientist Anna Clare for a deep dive into “the solar savanna”—treating solar arrays on grasslands as functioning grazing ecosystems. She shares early results from Silicon Ranch's Cattle Tracker research on integrating cattle (not just sheep) with PV systems. Brad follows with University of Minnesota's on-farm demos: panel heights that work for cattle, heat-stress reductions, forage performance under panels, and a mobile, battery-equipped shade/solar rig. If you're curious how and when cattle can safely graze under solar, this one's packed with data and practical design tips.Key takeawaysSolar as savanna: Think of arrays as shade “canopies” over grasslands—manage them as grazing systems with soils, roots, pollinators, and large herbivores in mind.Cattle can work under PV: Moving from sheep to cattle is feasible when arrays are designed with animal size/behavior in mind.Panel height matters: In controlled mockups, animal interactions dropped 43% from 2.0→2.5 m and 59% at 3.0 m. Cattle never touched panels; most curiosity was with dampers—a design hotspot.Ecosystem wins: Under-panel zones showed higher soil moisture and lower soil temperatures, favoring cool-season grasses and legumes; regrowth dynamics can improve after grazing passes.Animal welfare benefits: UMN trials showed lower respiration rates and 0.5–1.0 °F lower internal body temperatures during hot afternoons for shaded cows—meaningfully less heat stress.Forage production holds up (or improves): Certain mixes (e.g., orchardgrass, meadow fescue; grass-legume combos) produced equal or greater biomass under panels with no drop in nutritive value.Design for cattle, not fear: After a decade of on-farm experience, Brad's team hasn't seen cattle damage panels; people and tractors are more likely risks than cows.Practical layouts: Keep inverters outside fences, route wiring high/inside racking, and allow equipment lanes; rotational grazing and (potentially) virtual fencing fit well.Innovation on wheels: A 20 kW mobile bifacial shade rig with onboard batteries can power irrigation, fencing, and even an electric tractor—bringing agrivoltaics to wherever cattle need relief.Research & projects mentionedSilicon Ranch – Cattle Tracker: multi-year cattle-PV integration study; Phase 2 is a 4.5 MW Tennessee “outdoor test lab” comparing array vs. open pasture for behavior, space use, health/performance, plus mirrored ecosystem monitoring.Comprehensive literature review (AGU Earth's Future – in press): Maps intersections among livestock–solar–land, identifies six research gaps (integration, layered ecology, modeling, best practices, social dimensions, collaborative science).UMN Morris agrivoltaics demos: Fixed-tilt arrays at 6–8 ft (1.8–2.4 m) leading edge; 0.5 MW pasture array powering campus; vertical bifacial and crop-under-PV pilots coming; EV fast charger powered by cow-shade solar.Who it's forDevelopers, ranchers, extension pros, and policy folks exploring dual-use solar that keeps grasslands working and cattle comfortable.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

What does your clinic call the first 90 days of employment? A probationary period, onboarding, or something else? This week on The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, challenge one of the most ingrained (and, according to our hosts, outdated) terms and concepts in veterinary employment: the “90-day probation.” Dr. Ward and Beckie unpack the emotional, legal, and psychological implications of labeling new hires as being “on probation.” They explore how the language itself can erode trust, safety, and belonging, especially for veterinary technicians and support staff who may already feel undervalued. Citing insights from thought leader Amy Newfield of Vet Team Training, they argue that onboarding should be a process of mutual trust-building and skill development, not testing or punishment. The discussion moves beyond terminology to the real heart of the issue: leadership mindset. Should employers still rely on a fixed 90-day cutoff, or should they focus on continuous feedback, structured onboarding, and open communication from day one? Whether you're a clinic owner, manager, or new hire, this episode will change the way you think about the first 90 days, transforming it from a probationary “trial” into the foundation of a lasting, supportive workplace culture. #VeterinaryPodcast #VetMed #VetClinicLife #VetTeamTraining #Onboarding #EmployeeEngagement #PsychologicalSafety #ContinuousFeedback #HealthyWorkplace #VetWellbeing #CultureOfTrust

Isabelle Blaser - Vet Receptionists On the State of the Veterinary Field: "I think it's just a nationwide thing. That vet hospitals are understaffed and overworked and they always need an extra set of hands." Pets are like family to a great majority of our population. As living creatures, these pets need help. Sometimes just a checkup, and sometimes something deeper, such as surgery. Regardless of what they need, they are the animals we care about and so we want them to be taken care of. The world of veterinary medicine is a challenging one. The volume of pets is increasing, the volume of veterinarians and technicians is decreasing. The workload is simply too much for most people to bear for anything considered long term. But does it have to be this way? Isabelle Blaser is the incredible manager at Vet Receptionists, a company designed to lift much of the burden found in most veterinary clinics, by taking calls and helping reduce the workload of the overworked staff. By doing this, Isabelle and her crew at Vet Receptionists are able to help their client's employees keep doing all they need to do, keep them sane and keep them happily employed. In this episode Isabelle shares the problems facing most veterinary clinics and the solutions that can turn a struggling practice into a place of happiness. Though most veterinary clinics may not be struggling financially, mentally and culturally they are often a house of cards. Many times without the doctors or clinic owners even knowing of the issues or demands being made on their team. Listen as Isabelle explains the need for improved customer service to allow your clients to be treated better, as well as your employees. Enjoy!

Emily is back from medical leave (hooray!) and she and Brad dig into an essential topic for every operation: emergency planning. You can't predict every detail, but you can make the first decisions easier when seconds count.What we cover:What an emergency plan is (and isn't): a concise, written set of steps and key info you can default to under pressure.Start with a farm map: access routes, gates/fences, livestock locations, hazardous/flammable materials, and utility shutoffs.Make the red sheet easy to find: an emergency contact list (911 first), then vet, sheriff/emergency management, insurance, milk hauler, feed/suppliers, and owner/manager.Stock the right supplies: standard first-aid kits, a trauma kit with a tourniquet, and consider an AED; plan to keep kits replenished.Three scenario buckets to plan for:Shelter in place (blizzards, extended outages): backup power/fuel, blocked access routes, pared-down chore list, role assignments, keeping people safe.Evacuation (fire, flood, tornado damage): best escape routes for people/animals, which gates to open and in what order, a designated meeting point (and Plan B), and who calls whom.Medical emergencies (injury or health event): known conditions (EpiPens, diabetes, heart issues), where supplies/AED live, basic first-aid/CPR training, clear directions for EMS, and—on larger sites—who meets the ambulance at the road and whether a safe helicopter landing area exists.Mind the paperwork: review insurance coverage before you need it.Keep it simple and living: a few clear steps beat a thick binder no one reads.Resources mentioned:University of Minnesota Extension: Operations contingency plan templates for livestock operations.Extension Disaster Education Network (EDEN): disaster-specific farm resources.Cultivating Change Foundation (Emily & Joe Rand received the Cultivator of Change award).Save the date: Ag for All Conference for LGBTQ+ farmers, ag professionals, and allies — March 7, 2026, Waite Park/St. Cloud, MN.Have questions, comments, or scathing rebuttals?

In this episode, Brad shares his fall updates from western Minnesota before diving into a detailed discussion on genomic testing in dairy herds. Drawing on his experiences from recent farm visits in South Dakota and ongoing University of Minnesota research projects, he explores how producers are using genomics and whether the investment pays off.Brad explains that while some herds use genomic testing solely to decide which animals to breed to beef, he believes the technology's value lies much deeper — in improving herd genetics, managing inbreeding, verifying parentage, and advancing traits like health, fertility, and production components. He outlines the major testing companies (Neogen, Zoetis, and Genetic Visions), their costs (around $37–$42 per animal), and the kinds of data producers can expect from each, including A2 status, horned/polled traits, and wellness indices.The episode also includes two case studies:A small grazing herd where genomic testing clarified breed composition, revealed unknown sires, and identified A2 status across mixed-breed animals.A university research herd exploring polled genetics and crossbred performance, where Brad questions how well current evaluations reflect the true genetic potential of crossbreds like Normande and Montbéliarde crosses.Brad closes by summarizing the practical ways to use genomic information — from strategic breeding and heifer selection to developing niche markets like A2 milk products. His key takeaway: genomic testing can be a powerful tool for herd improvement, but it's only worth the cost when used strategically rather than as a simple breeding filter.Listeners are encouraged to share feedback or questions via The Moos Room's contact page or University of Minnesota Extension channels.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

Caring for a horse with a long-term illness or injury requires both financial commitment and practical planning. Veterinary bills, medications, specialized feed, and management adjustments can add up quickly, so creating a clear financial plan helps owners prepare for ongoing expenses. Practical management—such as adjusting your horse's workload, providing appropriate turnout, and maintaining a consistent routine—can support your horse's well-being. Work closely with your veterinarian to be sure your horse receives individualized treatment.During this Ask TheHorse Live event, two veterinarians answer listener questions about managing horses with chronic illness and injury.

Host Brad Heins welcomes Becca Weir, a Minnesota native and newly appointed assistant professor of agricultural economics at Penn State. Growing up on a dairy farm near Sauk Centre, Rebecca developed a passion for applying economics to dairy management decisions.In this episode, she shares findings from her University of Minnesota research with Jolene Hadrich, which connected genetic selection (sire Net Merit) with farm-level profitability using data from 2012–2018 Minnesota dairy herds.Key insights:A $100 increase in sire Net Merit was linked to roughly $12,000 more in net farm income—about $87 per cow, higher than expected.The positive relationship held across small, medium, and large herds, showing that investing in genetics pays off for all farm sizes.Traits related to longevity and health—such as livability and milk fever resistance—were the most consistent contributors to profitability.Selecting based on the Net Merit index is more effective than focusing on single traits.Genetics explained about 3% of profitability variation, a small but meaningful share alongside market conditions, management, and input costs.Rebecca also discusses her new role at Penn State, where she'll continue exploring dairy farm management, risk management, and programs like Dairy Margin Coverage to help producers improve economic resilience.Brad closes by reminding listeners that genetics are just one piece of the profitability puzzle—but an important one that can deliver measurable returns for dairy farmers.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we're diving into a hot topic: managing pancreatitis in dogs. More specifically, we're taking a closer look at an outpatient treatment protocol. Let's face it, treatment for pancreatitis can be prolonged and expensive, often requiring hospitalization, intravenous (IV) fluids, antiemetic therapy, nutritional support, analgesics, anti-inflammatory therapy, and 24/7 care, and that's not always possible for some clients and patients. But what if there were a practical, cost-conscious alternative that could be managed outside the hospital for the more mild to moderate cases that strikes a balance between effective clinical care and financial feasibility for clients?Sponsored By: Ceva Animal Health
In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we review practical recommendations from veterinary microbiologists on how to optimize diagnostic sample submissions in small animal practice.
