[QUOTE="simme, post: 1803389, member: 40418"] One month left until the remaining OTC antibiotics will require a prescription. Had a guy show up at the vet clinic last week. His previous vet retired 3 years ago and had stopped seeing large animals about 10 years ago. He wanted to get set up with a new vet. He has beef cattle on 200 acres. My wife asked him about catch pens and handling facilities. He said that he has a setup like an auction barn has. Said he wanted to pay the vet to come out so he would have access to vet care and meds. The vet visited and he is all set up. This guy is 88 years old. Says he has things to do every day, every week and things to be done in 6 months. Just has to get up each day and get to it. May be encouraging that a person can still run cattle at 88 years old. My wife said he was very sharp mentally. But, I sort of hope that my cattle are gone prior to 88. Just seems like putting out hay in the winter mud, rain and cold might be too much for me at that age. But those in their 50's can look forward to 30 more years of cattle. Those in their 30's - 50 more years of fun ahead. [/QUOTE]
