Pneu-Adventures Introduction

In this episode of Pneu-Adventures (aka New Adventures), Josh talks with Karen Herman, co-founder and director of Sky Mountain Wild Horse Sanctuary in northern New Mexico. Karen shares how her team rescues “least-adoptable” mustangs, manages free-roaming herds on rugged public lands, and uses science + technology—including PZP immunocontraception and Pneu-Dart’s Excalibur remote delivery systems—to reduce foaling, improve herd health, and protect habitat. She explains why PZP is a humane, reversible, non-hormonal approach that can stabilize populations over time, and tells a moving sanctuary story about a starving mare with navicular disease who recovered after low-stress treatment delivered via remote darting. It’s a masterclass in pairing compassion with practical fieldwork.

In this inspiring episode of New Adventures, host Amy sits down with Calli Williams, a first-generation millennial rancher from South Dakota, to discuss her family’s journey building T.W. Angus from the ground up. Callie shares how she and her husband Tate balance full-time careers with raising cattle, their experiences growing their herd, and their expanding business ventures — from an online bull sale to a direct-to-consumer beef program. She opens up about using a Pneu-Dart Model 178 projector during challenging flood conditions, her role on the NCBA Trailblazer Team, and even her recent CNN interview discussing beef prices. Packed with stories of grit, family values, and agricultural advocacy, this episode offers both practical insights and heartfelt inspiration for ranchers and consumers alike.

In this episode of Pneu-Adventures, host Josh dives into the critical differences between subcutaneous (SubQ) and intramuscular (IM) injections in the remote delivery system space. Drawing from years of experience with white-tailed deer, Josh explains how to choose the right cannula (needle) length for various species, weights, and seasonal conditions. He shares real-world examples from deer farming and livestock management, emphasizing that needle size is not a one-size-fits-all decision. Whether you’re administering antibiotics to cattle or sedation to deer, this episode breaks down when to use ½-inch, ¾-inch, or 1-inch gel collar cannulas to ensure the most effective and humane delivery.

In this inspiring episode of Pneu-Adventures, host Josh sits down with ninth-generation farmer, animal science graduate, and professional photographer Ashlyn Clemmer Kerns. From her deep Shenandoah Valley roots to founding a thriving photography business, Ashlyn shares her journey of balancing legacy and passion. Tune in as they discuss her early love for agriculture, her time at Virginia Tech, working in the university's meat lab, and how Pneu-Dart remote delivery systems have been an essential tool for her family’s cow-calf operation. Ashlyn also opens up about her shift from aspiring veterinarian to full-time creative—and how she captures rural life through her lens.

In this episode, host Josh Newton welcomes Ken Yancey, Executive Director of the Exotic Wildlife Association (EWA) to discuss the mission, growth, and impact of the Exotic Wildlife Association (EWA). EWA, founded in 1967, has over 2,000 members and is expanding into new chapters. The association supports projects like anti-poaching in Zimbabwe and educational initiatives. Yancey highlighted the economic impact of the exotic wildlife industry, estimated at nearly $2 billion, and the importance of remote delivery systems for veterinary treatments. He also addressed the New World Screw Worm threat and EWA's efforts to combat it. Upcoming events include the EWA 2025 convention in San Antonio, Texas, featuring educational sessions and auctions. 

In the first full episode of Pneu-Adventures, host Josh Newton welcomes the legendary Dr. Cliff Shipley a veterinarian with over 40 years of experience and a storied career that includes wildlife care, exotic animals, academic instruction, and pioneering work in remote delivery systems.
