[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 158640, member: 968"] We worm & give every vaccination recommended for this area, we do not have a closed herd. Cows never get any grain, just weaned calves thru winter. I just checked, we spent $26/hd in 2004 for vet & meds (incl deworm). ($16 meds/dewormer & $10 vet). This does not include mineral expense. Now, we show cattle, so the vet bill is probably 100% show expenses. Do most all our own vet work other than an emergency we can't handle. I RARELY purchase any meds/supplies thru vet. Most prescription drugs are also purchased thru pharmaceutical supplier (with a prescription). We do not make enough profit in a beef operation to pay a vet for anything other than his/her experience/knowledge. [/QUOTE]
