Yesterday was slaughter day and emotions ranged from “FREE AT LAST” to “somebody grab Wildcard, I’m pretty sure he’ll fit in my boot 😭”.
Between the endless feed bags, mud, bunk cleaning, chaos and stress… these animals stopped being “just cattle”. They taught us responsibility, patience, pressure, teamwork, and just how easy it is to fall in love with production animals.
As a team, we made mistakes…. Some small. Some spectacularly BIG (and public) 🫠. Yes, this challenge humbled us far beyond any post could ever describe but as future veterinarians, we are grateful for the invaluable lessons over the last 105 days.
So thank you to the Rib-ellion boys for the head scratches, laughs, and memories that we’ll carry forever. What a ride it’s been. 🐂🫶🏼
