Dr. Joe Stookey, professor emeritus from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine joins the podcast this week. Joe has spent his career researching various aspects of animal behavior with a focus on beef cattle. He joins me to discuss the problem of mis-mothering in calving cows.

Hopefully you can get the gist of the conversation, but apologies for the segments where the sound isn't great.
