[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1472234, member: 16453"] All I can say is you are not keeping your powder dry. I know you can do it but in essence you are making use of your top shelf drugs because they are there and the drug companies are willing sellers knowing that one day they will be ineffective but hoping that there will be a new one on the market bigger and better. As far as your justification with using it prophylacticly Silver just look at the medical world now with doctors not prescribing antibiotics for the common cold or flu unless they are certain that there is a bacterial component to try and prolong the usefull life of the antibiotics they have available as newer ones are a lot slower coming onto the market these days, they are just not keeping up. I understand your useage of these drugs in a very difficult environment which I enjoy looking at photos of but would not like to have to work with but my suggestion is to go about what you do but don't go bragging about it, keep it under your hat, there are a lot of other people out there reading this and If I were you I would not want to draw attention to it. I did not come into this argument to criticise your use of antibiotics though it does raise my eyebrows, I came into this primarily to correct the misinformation that Gcreek was spreading about cows and Pestivirus (BVD). I hope you and Gcreek and all CT members have a happy healthy and prosperous new year and your cattle free of disease. Ken [/QUOTE]
