Texas A&M Vet School Open House

On Saturday we drove to Texas A&M because their Vet School hosts an Open House every year. You can go through various labs and learn about different good and bad bugs associated with small and large animal breeds, you can see actual cows, horses, goats and sheep. They had a petting zoo, a milking cow demonstration (Lauren was up front and got sprayed from the udder!), a horse with its skeleton painted on it to show movement, and a fistulated cow. A what?!? If you were to tell me I was going to wake up on Saturday morning and stick my arm into a live cow's stomach, while it was eating hay, I would have mentioned something about you being crazy. Well, it was I who was crazy and did just that. They say having a hole in the side of its belly does not hurt and equated it to an ear piercing. And that cows have no pain receptors in their stomach, so us searching around in there also is not hurtful. Emma asked why the cow was broken and its juices were falling out. I think the kids liked it because they did ask questions and talked a lot about it! Lauren found a tent for a group that rescues poodles and wanted to stay there for a while, and Emma found her Longhorn and also a momma cow and her 6 day old calf. They were also amazed by the police horse!
