[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 26107, member: 9"] As a native of SW Denton County, TX., with ranch property still couple miles from Alliance Airport that is leased out...I can sympasize with the people in the DFW Metroplex that need to locate good large animal vets and AI facilities. In the last 40 years the DFW Metroplex has turned into a huge "corporate" work environment with terminally ill congested freeways and interstates. Most of the former "country towns" such as Roanoke, Justin, Denton, Keller, Flower Mound, Plano, Grapevine, Watauga, Rhome, etc., etc., have turned into bedroom commuter communities with probably most of the Vet services being focused on small animal and "designer" animal pets. To find a good large animal vet, one will probably need to "GO OUT" from these areas into such more still rural towns as Weatherford, Bridgeport, Jacksboro, Gainesville, Cleburne, and so on...even though some of these many towns within a 75 mile radius of DFW are being attacked by the "Growth Virus" of the big city. And, consider the cost of paying the Vet for a "house Call" to your place versus the cost of getting a trailer (if you don't have one) and/or paying someone to pickup and haul your livestock to a Vet and bring them back. Can also contact the Texas Animal Health Commission in Austin for a list of Vets that work with livestock in Texas. Hope this information helps anyone that is new to the cattle business in the N. Central Texas area! [/QUOTE]
