After practicing large animal medicine for 15 years Dr. Browder's body was pretty well shot, so he went to work for the United States Department of Agriculture as a Supervisory Veterinary Medical Officer. He had the opportunity to work in many different slaughter and processing plants in Kansas and Nebraska. These included beef, pork, poultry, ratites (ostriches, emues, reas) and equines. Dr. Browder admits he probably wasn't a very good supervisor. He would lots rather work with ranchers and farmers and live animals than union organized government employees and dead animals. After 16 years working for the Government, Dr. Browder retired and now lives in Gordon, Nebraska.
