[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1714396, member: 12520"] I don’t disagree with you Simme, but do feel like we (the producers) are being punished for a problem that usually starts a step above us in the production chain. Very few cattle as a percentage ever get a shot of antibiotics at the producer level. And I would bet that the vast majority of those that are treated either get better or die. Either of these outcomes should be a satisfactory result as far as not creating anti microbial resistance. However, it is a fact that microbial resistance is developing so perhaps it’s best to play along and maybe our antibiotics will continue to work as advertised for a good bit yet. Maybe the rules will prevent some folks from misusing medicine, and cause others to use it more responsibly. As I stated above, it hasn’t been a hardship for me. My vet will sell me what I think I will need for the problems I expect. I do record every shot administered, although no one has ever asked to see those records….. yet. [/QUOTE]
