Eyeball recession is a primary indicator of dehydration in calves, measured in millimeters (mm) at the medial canthus. A common, practical formula is to multiply the mm of eye recession by 1.6 - 2 to estimate the percentage of dehydration. For example, this calf has a recession of ~5mm suggesting roughly 10% dehydration which puts her into the severely dehydrated range.

Dr. King does a great job explaining how vaccines work and why we give the same dose regardless of the size of the animal.

After a horn infection almost derailed his season, McCoy Rodeo's Pegasus overcame it to return to the elite, then put on a display to be the PRCA ProRodeo Bull of the 2025 NFR. He will buck next at the Oklahoma City ProRodeo. https://twistedrodeo.com/2026/01/09/pegasus-bucks-in-inspiring-way/ 📸Click Thompson Oklahoma State Fair Brandon McLagan

Merry Christmas!

Reindeer (Caribou) are the only species of deer in which females routinely possess antlers. Males shed their antlers in the fall after rut, and females shed their antlers in the spring. This means that Rudolph was a castrated male, and that all of Santa's reindeer, are actually females or castrated males. Caribou are the only species of deer that can be castrated without having life threatening abnormalities to antler growth due to the hormone differences in hardening and shedding of their antlers. For more interesting facts concerning the differences between Santa's reindeer and other species of caribou, visit

Merry Christmas to you all!!

Congratulations to McCoy Rodeo on a great bull!

McCoy Rodeo's 247 Pegasus crowned bull of the 2025 National Finals Rodeo!

His first match up was a true test in Round 5. Stetson Wright was matched up with Pegasus and everyone knew Pegasus was going left and chalked it up as a round win. Pegasus made short work of Stetson, slamming him into the dirt in a brisk 4.99 seconds. The judges marked him 45.75 points to tie for the high marked bull of the NFR to that point.

Round 10. All of the chips were pushed to the middle of the table. Pegasus was paired with Tristen Hutchings, a 4X NFR qualifier. Tristen had felt the nerves of the 10th round before and again, there was people saying it was a round win. The little gray one horn bull had other plans. Pegasus dusted Hutchings in 2.03 seconds and received the highest marked out of the entire NFR with a bull score of 46 points.

247 Pegasus was raised by Ken King (Box K) and is sired by past PRCA Bull of the Year 455 Buckeye (315 Pandhandle Slim). His mother (HC 39) is a daughter of PBR Bull of the Year Moody Blues (Baby Brother) and back out of a Texas Twister (Andrews) daughter.

Fun Fact: The Texas Twister daughter (SA545) in the pedigree of Pegasus is the mother to HC 50, a Dillinger daughter. HC 50 is the mother to past Dam of the Year Box K 67. The 67 cow is mother to 321 King Tut, 162 Right Stuff, 187 High Rise, 322 King of Spades, and J15 Bruised & Confused.

This is a sad post because it was Tara’s last week! She’s been amazing and so many of you all will notice us trying to fill in the gaps with her gone. For those of you who shop the new and improved Stockman’s in Deleon, you can stop in and say hello! She wanted a job with better hours and closer to home which we understand. We know she will miss all of our amazing clients and patients.m as much as we already miss her. Good luck Tara!!!
