[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 409520, member: 173"] Ok.. I'm grumpy tonight anyway, so I'll add my two cents. I think no one graduating from vet school wants to do large or farm animals because 1) they are the younger generation that has a problem with getting sweaty and/or dirty 2) they can make WAY more $$ doing small animals, and can be in an air conditioned / heated building, and pay off their student loans much faster. 3) Farmers can be turds to work with.. they complain about prices, won't lift a finger to help you, and call at inconvenient times, and want you to prescribe / give for free drugs to doctor ol' Bessie. I don't know what the answer is..but our recent new vet hasn't been doing much of a job on large animals, from what I hear. It's very disheartening.. especially since one of my favorite pet cows ( for Caustic) is not feeling well this evening, and if she doesn't look better, it means hooking up the trailer, loading her up and heading to College Station in the morning.. 1 1/2 hour drive.. plus diagnosis.. etc. etc. and I don't make any $$ to pay for this HOBBY unless I'm working. Sorry.. :oops: [/QUOTE]
