[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 196242, member: 1258"] Randi, I do agree with your post. We do have the responsibility to humanely care for our animals. Unfortunately the nature of the world will cause suffering for animals and people alike but I believe that when God puts us in charge of these animals we are to do our best for them. We call our vet. Sometimes we even call when we do know what we should be doing but think they may have something better now. Times are changing and new research and drugs come out. It's their jobs to know what those new approaches are. Besides if something works well we tell our vet, so do others. He's got some great ideas that he's picked up from other ranchers. A good vet will always be worth the money you pay him/her. For the people that don't have a good vet I really feel for them. When I see posts that say there's only one vet and he turned off his cell phone I feel bad for the people and the animals. I can see why they come on here to ask advice of course I think I would go to a vet site personally (no offense to any of us). Then I would come here. I like the health board and have learned some tips that I may need in the future but to me that is what it is about learn it first then apply it. Don't try to be finding information once the problem has happened. If the problem has happened and you don't know what to do just get it fixed as quickly and painlessly as possible. Cows are not people and I'm not a PETA member that thinks they should be treated as such but they do feel pain. When I am in pain I want a doctor that knows what they are doing or calls in someone else right away not someone who is still reading up material to try to figure out what is wrong. Cows want the same thing from their owners. My other problem with people that let their animals suffer is that it does give PETA a chance to slam the industry. I hope that made sense. If it didn't don't be too hard on me, I need more sleep - hopefully these calving cows will give me a break soon. Speaking of which back to work I go. [/QUOTE]
