[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 716979, member: 12607"] Most small custom-kill operations probably won't have a USDA-certified meat inspector on site. I agree, if she's febrile(has a fever) - which she probably is not if she's up, around, and eating as normal - I'd hold off on slaughtering her. The concern is that if she's running a fever, then she *might* have a systemic infection going. I never understood why so many of my veterinary colleagues feel the need to give a one-time dose of antibiotics after pulling a calf. Rarely is there any real need to do so. [/QUOTE]
