Really nice video. Awesome work keeping data organized in graphics. I wonder, when would the biopsy be contraindicated? In which conditions would you refrain from doing the biopsy in an animal?
Does the liver bleed a lot if you hit a blood vessel? I think some sort of hang over shelf to fit on the railings while you are working could be an advantage for a lot of procedures where you can safely set up any equipment.
You’re not the first person to say that… I have seen some smaller magnetic ones for TB testing but a hang over tray would work nicely - a project for when I’m back in the UK…
Well, people often give blood and biopsy samples, after the first sharp jab and it's all done, people are a bit sore but it goes away in a little while. Most people do well with it. Done smoothly and clean, nothing to worry about. Perhaps the cows strength lets them deal with it even better than people ? People just enjoy complaining more. ;-)

Good question - I suppose anything that’s sick, or has been recently. Also if she’s a nutter and not going to stand nicely 😅

I think it’s a fine balance right? Cows are tough like you say but we still have to keep an eye firmly on the trade offs. 🙂
