He had a veterinary practice in Floresville for 55 years. In the early years he served 109 dairies, and treated beef cattle, hogs, horses, and small animals since he was the only vet serving Wilson and the surrounding counties. Jerry was well known for his skill at early detection of pregnancy in cattle long before sonograms were in use. Engaged in ranching, along with his brother and sister, he raised Santa Gertrudis cattle and cross-bred Brahman and Simmental cattle.

Jerry had a very creative mind and was constantly coming up with ideas that benefited the agriculture industry in many different ways. One of the highlights of his life was receiving a commendation from President Ronald Reagan in Washington D.C. for his work on a research project on tropical cattle diseases in El Salvador.
Jerry was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Louise Brumlow and Juanita (George) Mosher; brother, H.C. (Lee) Brumlow; nephew, Jerry Lane Brumlow; and niece, Sarah Nan Dockery.
