Sandie Bonsall
Inventor of Animal Ambulance
Sandie, inventor, was raised on a ranch in the Sandhills of Nebraska and acquired feedlot cowboy experience in Arizona. In addition, he has 30 years of sales experience in Animal Health and Agricultural Equipment. His hobbies include rodeo, training horses and Border Collies, plus flying.
The inventor of the "Animal Ambulance" was motivated by a challenge. While discussing flying lessons with a feedlot manager he recognized a frustration the manager was having with an area that seemed to be a typical problem in most feedlots. The Feedlot manager stated... "Why don't you take that helicopter and move my cattle from the Hospital to their "home pens?" After 3 years of research & development - the "Animal Ambulance" became a reality. The first Commercial Feedyard to purchase this unit was the Manager who challenged the inventor. One of his comments was "It works better than I ever imagined".
The "Animal Ambulance" reduces the handling stress of returning cattle from the Hospital to the "home pens" improving both PRODUCTIVITY and WELFARE of the livestock. In addition, the LABOR SAVINGS $$ to the feedyard.
