[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1144585, member: 9096"] I just remember that a live calf is the one that pays the bills... slow births make for retards, and if I'm around, I don't hesitate to speed up the process.. I take note of if I had to do a lot of pulling, or if it just slid out... let momma clean them, if they haven't nursed in an hour, I'll make sure they get ahold of a teat. Most do just fine, but I'm not the gambling kind at calving time. I've bred the bad hooves out of the herd now, it's very rare I have to trim. The only vaccine I give is scourgard 4 weeks before the first calf drops. The pets do get a bit spoiled,... They get clipped in the springtime and deloused,.. sometimes taken out for a sunday walk and graze, but they eat the same food as all the others. Going back to the dogs, etc, what worries me about these animal rights people is that the only possible outcome of treating animals like humans is to treat humans like animals! [/QUOTE]
