Stock Doctor inventor eyes global reach for field vaccine tool
Doug Vandersteen, a Chatfield rancher, developed the Stock Doctor a 30 cc syringe with a notch needle and 25 foot cord to vaccinate cattle without restraining them. Since 1994 field tests on 100 prototypes were positive, production planned in Canada with US imports. Sales exceed 2,000 yearly, with hopes to reach 6,000, as distributors in Australia and a New Zealand livestock conference boost exposure.
