Spaying/castration: How, complications, pain management

Abstract

Before establishing a business of spaying heifers, you must first be able to understand and explain/sell the benefits of the pro­cedure to your potential clientele. It is a good procedure to add to an existing practice, especially if you are a new grad trying to add value or it can be a solo career opportunity as this skill is one that is currently in short supply. Spaying heifers is a labor-intensive procedure that requires learned skill and technique. It is not for the faint of heart. It is very physically and emotion­ally taxing when you are first starting out. The learning curve is steep and could potentially be expensive early on.
