I would like to dedicate this book to my family, especially my loving wife, Laurie, and children, Zach and Hannah, who have tolerated me during the countless hours I have spent writing, reading, and editing this text. They have forgiven me for taking time from them to pursue this endeavor. Also, my parents and extended family have always been supportive of me and encouraged me to try new things. Finally, the farm animal team at The Ohio State University, my work‐family, have also tolerated my absence from the clinic as I finished this project.
