[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 460711, member: 6198"] If they are old and still walking well with no serious arthritis, they go the sale barn. If they have troubles getting up but once they do they are ok they go to the slaughter house directly, where they will be inspected for human consumption. This way they are not on the truck from the sale barn to a far away slaughter house where they may go down in the truck. Lumpy jaw to the slaughter house directly. Not had any other types of cases. Calves now have a spend limit on medical and drugs. The spend limit is reviewed case by case. Getting better continue. Not, euthanize, unless it could make it to withdrawl without being in pain then our freezer. Would not sell anything that is not 100%. Would not sell anything that i would not buy. Would not pass my problems on to someone else. We have only had to euthanize one case which would not heal. A navel ill, our first case. Did not treat quick enough and had damaged the back legs. We kept him and treated several more times because he would get better with treatments and then when the drug wore off get worse again. So we, after a vet inspection, we euthanized. I would never dream of sending my hopy calf to someone else. It was in to much pain, and could only sort of drag sort of hop it's back legs. [/QUOTE]
