[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15110"] Our vet is the same way, I can actually afford to have him do stuff for us. Not all vets are as reasonable, there are a couple around here that think they're in CA or something. They even over charge the dairys. We figured out a while back that in order for me to buy the vaccines etc it would have to be in such large bottles that we would throw half of it away. It actually works out cheaper to have the vet come out and charge his piddily 10 buck farm call. dunmovin farms > I don't realy think there was much > of a difference...perhaps timing > and or other distractions more > than anything else...The three > cows with calves I had a bit of > competition on the bid. > I swang them by the vet on the way > home this morning...all got shots > and liquid wormer and a decent > once over.
