[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1585502, member: 968"] Reminds me of incident that happened years ago (1978) when we moved to NY. Came here from Kansas. Back in Ks, the large animal vets had a corral/work chute that they would haul behind their truck & set up at your farm if you didn't have any facilities. - like for the annual castration & shots. OR - you had the choice of loading your animal up & unloading at their office/clinic. Well, first year here, my daughter had a show cow/calf pair. Calf was a bull. So, in the fall, I contacted a local vet that had talked at one of her 4-H meetings. Said "I have a spring born calf that needed castration & could I make an appointment to bring him in". This way I would save on a "farm call". We load the calf up into our stock rack on the truck. Got to the clinic. Drove all the way around it. No unloading ramp. Strange. I go inside and say I have the calf there but where was I supposed to unload it? NY is big dairy state. They were expecting a bottle baby not an 800# bull calf. Vet ended up giving him Rompum (sp?) and my daughter & I held him up against the side of the stock rack. Hubby learned how to castrate our own after that! None of the vets have facilities - other than going to Cornell Univ. Learning curve in new area. [/QUOTE]
