[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 736246, member: 968"] Some of you need to get off "your high horse". Just because I show 5 head a year, does not make my herd a pampered show cattle herd. My cattle are treated just like any commercial herd. We have over 60 head of mama cows. They are not "pampered". If you call feeding quality hay in the winter & calving indoors when calves would die in a heartbeat in our severe damp cold outsde, & a great health program is being pampered - then, yes, guess in your mind my herd is pampered. I do whatever is NECESSARY for healthy cows & calves - as cheaply as possible. I follow Cornell Univ & Vet recommended health programs. We were fortunate enough to be part of a research on SE. A sampling of our cattle were blood tested, SE level in mineral was adjusted, more blood work, more adjstment, til we are at the level of 118 PPM regular SE & 55 PPM Organic SE. Noone out here that has an ounce of a herd health program would think of having calves without giving SE shots at birth. Don't know of one vet that would not recommend it. You want to compare your costs per cow/year? Ours was $471 - even Caustic has that kind of costs. And that's ALL expenses claimed on Income Tax except depreciation. Like I said - get off your high horse. What makes you so perfect to be so judgemental? Poke your stick somewhere else - --- in your eye maybe. [/QUOTE]
