J. McCormack (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1986 | ISBN-10: 0932147011 | ISBN-13: 978-0932147011

The title of this book, Watch for a Cloud of Dust, came about because of a former employer of Dr. McCormack, Dr. Max Foreman. Dr. Foreman, an enthusiastic and excellent veterinarian, worked at a fast pace and believed in making farm calls quickly. "Hang up the telephone and watch for a cloud of dust!" he often loudly exclaimed to a client requesting emergency service, before he sprinted to his truck and raced to the farm. Dr. John started writing short newsletter articles on livestock health when he was a member of the Georgia Extension Service staff. His belief that all farmers and veterinarians have similar humorous experiences led to his stories in HOARD'S DAIRYMAN magazine about Carney Sam Jenkins, a calf named Meathead, and Sherman the bull. He believes that we all need to learn how to laugh at ourselves occasionally.

This review is from: Watch for a Cloud of Dust (Paperback)

I had the pleasure of studying under Dr. McCormack when I was in vet school. He was truly the most fun professor I had. His sense of humor and tender heart come across in this book as well as its sequel. A good read for animal lovers.
