“Many of our students come in to try out the simulators and as a result, the first rectalling class with a new group of students is much more successful. No student is in a cow for more than five minutes now and up to 90 per cent leave the first session having felt a uterus, most differentiating whether pregnant or not.”

    That is very impressive! My wife was a pre-vet student, and while she didn’t have a problem with the physical exams, a lot of her classmates did. Anything that can help with this is a definite plus.

    I find the transformation of “rectal” into “rectalling” a little disturbing.
    Who am I kidding – a LOT disturbing.
