Publisher's Synopsis
Heartwarming and inspiring - this book teaches that grit, determination and passion can get you through anything. As Russ narrates and catalogues the injuries he sustained over his lifelong commitment to (and love for) animals and his career in Reproductive Physiology, you will learn about the science behind his work while he shares "all the things that didn't kill him."Russ uses humor and detailed descriptions that help you feel like you were there as an eyewitness to all of it - from his brush with the law as a young boy, raising chickens inside city limits, to a near-death experience while helping farmers get the best out of their cattle genetics.Whether you've never stepped foot on a farm, or your boots and truck tires are caked with mud and manure, you will relate to these stories of perseverance through difficult days and sacrifices one makes for the things that truly matter.
