Well :shock: other then a bunch of shots between the eyes for meat purposes. I can think of only twice giving the coup de grace to a critter. Both times calves. Once I noticed a small cold weather calf having trouble walking, checked it's feet, had the back two frozen. And I crushed a good doing calf between two big bales and broke the pelvis. Both cases bothered me a long while. As for Vets, I have a old veterinarian friend, doesn't go out to farms any more. He's an old cow man I ask his advice from time to time. Hard for me to imagine a situation in which I would need a Vet at the ranch. Haven't had one out in 15 years.
Hard for me to disagree with anything you are writing. What do you think your financial advantage or disadvantage is by not having a vet out in 15 years?
