I am going to eartag my hiefers tomorrow with a fly control eartag by placing one ear tag in their right ear.
Some farmers use one in the left and one in the right.
I was wanting to know the opinion of the board?
Thanks.

I am not trying to vet bash...just wanted your opinions.
Seems I have struck a nerve.
All the good vets out there...god love ya!
I've got nothing but praise out there for the vet who finally helped me in my situation. They guy was doing surgery on a dog and was talking to me on the phone...
Believe me I not going to sue.
The thought just crossed my mind in a what if scenario.
Talking about it and hearing other bad experiences eases my frustration.
Thanks for everyones reply. I appreciate them all.

Well, I would not worry about the vet that I had sued because he definetly would refuse my business lol.
But you do bring up a good point about other vets being hesitant to want to help me.
I agree...in these cases I wouldnt sue either.
Dont get me wrong I am not advocating lawsuits.
But I had treatable animals. He was the closest vet available. He refused me service based on not having prior large animal business with him.
If my animals have died due to his refusal, I'd be...
You did not misunderstand. That is the way he operates. I failed to mention that I am running a feeder program and dont meet the requirements for his program.
I worm and vaccinate my cattle in the summer then sell in the fall. I buy that stuff at Southern States and do this myself.
It may have been shipping fever or IBR contracted from the sale barn. Not real sure. I know vets dont like to hear about cattle coming from the sale barn...but the conversation never got that far to let him know where they came from.
Its my local vets policy that before he sells any medicine he must first inspect the animal. But if i cannot move the animals and he will not come to the farm to inspect them, how am I to get the medicine. I was not going to have him work the animals...I was going to do that myself. I just...
I have never had a problem with this vet in the past. He has all my dog and cat business and payments were always paid in full.
But I have always taken my animals there. He has never had to come to my farm before.
Trust me, when it comes to money he is very good at billing. lol
there's my side and his side and somewhere in the middle is the truth lol.
Well since I dont thingk he is online here all you have is my side lol.
In all fairness to the vet, he just wanted me to bring them to him at his shop location but I could'nt.
