[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16935"] > Why would you get the vet? The vet > bill will be twice as much as this > thing will ever be worth. Depends on your vet -- mine would be well worth the expense. He was just out yesterday morning. Dehorned 9 calves, preg. checked 1 cow, and checked a healing infected naval, and looked them all over and pronounced them healthy -- $34. Last year he saved a salebarn calf (and taught me how to recognize a freemartin) for less than $20 -- now that one really paid off, that heifer will be ready to slaughter in a couple of weeks and I sure couldn't buy her now for what little I have in her. And I agree that you don't need the vet for every little thing, but it does pay off for your vet to be your friend and partner -- I've gotten invaluable advice and instruction over the phone.
