[QUOTE="Alan, post: 49038, member: 378"] I'm speaking of Cow/calf operations, not feed lots and I would assume most feed lots do not castrate many older animals. But your right I don't know much about feed lot operations, my focus is on cow/calf. Some of the "ol timers" are teaching me things, how not to treat people, running them down if they have a different opinion or twisting their words. But to most of you "ol timers" I do respect and admire your knowledge and skill and welcome your advice... most of you do it without running "newbies" like me over. I do realize I'm a newbie. I'm just the kind of guy who gets hit and comes back swinging (most of the time without thinking first, but i'm working on that). I should say also, I haven't seen one of you guys say it's okay to hold a dog down cut off his parts. You show your wisdom by staying out of such conversations. But if a newbie asks if it's okay to casterate a dog with knife with no medical attention my morals say speak up. I'm saying if you treat your Vet like you do the newbies on this board it's no wonder they don't want to work for you. A Vet is a Medical Dr. they spent 8 years in school just like your family Dr. why should they deserve less respect? If you are a valued client, ie; treat them nice, with respect, realize they are the Dr. and pay your bills on time. They will more than likely be willing to go the extra mile for you. Many Vets will supply small amounts of seditives or locals to ranchers and farmers in good standing (with a vauled client-patient relationship) ... it's called a prescription.
