Getting a hold of us: If phones are working like we expect, you should only need one number for us. 419-925-6212 is answered by staff, usually Jill, during the day and goes direct to the doctor on call when the office is closed. Jill does the ordering and schedules most farm calls. Put 419-925-6212 in your phone as our primary contact.

Every fall we can look at our preg rate chart and see who has abolished summer and who has let it takes its toll. Production lags into the fall, increased lameness, and cull rates tell us heat stress has costs.

We have done most of the communication on this disease by email because it is a continually developing story. The disease is real. Cows are not dying of it.
