In 1946, after the war, Broussard resumed his practice of veterinary medicine in New Iberia, where he was [[Mentorship|mentored]] for a time by Dr. J. Arthur Goodwin (1877-1962).<ref name=Iberian/> In the fall of  1947, he was called upon to examine a new colt sired by a 12-year-old work [[mule]] in St. Martinville]], Louisiana. He determined that only three such cases of a mule siring a colt had then occurred. The colt seemed normal except for its peculiar shaped head. Just prior to the birth of the colt, the mule had pulled a sugar cane wagon. This unusual birth attracted national attention.<ref>.{{cite web|url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/2833699/
