7 Years as a Livestock Inspector

March 27, 2018

Today marks my seventh year working as a state livestock inspector.
Gosh it’s been fun. I can hardly believe they’ve let me stay at this job for this long.

I’m feeling all nostalgic so I thought I would share what I’ve been doing for seven years.

It’s been seven years of pretty views…

seven years of pretty ewes…

sheep at stockyard

seven years of rusty trusty trucks…

MDA truck

seven years of really good luck (flu strip negative- always good).

seven years of checking gates…

seven years of working late…

seven years of sample runs…

samples from chickens

seven years of cinnamon buns…

seven years of ruffling feathers…

seven years of crappy weather…

field work in the cold

seven years goofing off…

seven years of don and doff…

seven years of cattle tags…

seven years of co-workers who became closest friends…

that’s seven years I would do again.

Still can’t believe this job! If you are interested in becoming a state livestock inspector or the work we do, send me an email, I could talk about it for like, seven years.
