[QUOTE="coachg, post: 1712066, member: 22053"] Do you have a vet that will make farm calls ? In our area of NE Alabama we have several local vets but only a couple that work large animals. Most have gone strictly to cats and dogs . And the couple that work cattle or horses keep regular office hours and want you to bring animals to them . They will set up appointments to come out to a farm to work a herd but not on weekends . Very frustrating! I had a good young cow with a backwards delivery on Saturday. I’m no longer physically able to pull one but was able to get her in the lot . 4 hours later I had a young man who is a family friend leave work to come pull a dead bull calf . My vet returned my earlier call but was headed to his sons football game . I did appreciate him returning my call but 4 hours later to tell me he would be another 2-3 hours before I could bring her to his office. Did I mention I’m frustrated ? Is there a young person out there that wants to set up a practice and probably have more work than they can keep up with ? I know several local cattlemen that would help them get a start ! [/QUOTE]
