[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1480005, member: 14585"] Who is their veterinarian? Have attorney question them and vet separately, how many visits per year, why, what problems, herd protocols? Was the calf autopsied by the vet? What were the results? What % of the many other calves had autopsies by the vet? results? Never losing one to disease is unheard of in livestock production. Cannons don't scare off scours, clostridial or respiratory diseases. Diseases are the number one threat to successful livestock operations. Go after their health care practices. What % have they lost to disease? Were they autopsied? What vaccines have been given to all of the animals on the farm? Did they all receive their booster shots? Which vaccines were given to the mothers to transfer immunity to their calves? Were they properly administered by a vet or under vet supervision? Can they document purchases for all the vaccines claimed? Vaccines, medications and health care is a business expense, they can either prove all health care expenses from tax records or it never happened. Can an attorney subpoena business tax records... i don't know, but may help establish calf value and scare 'em. Excess health care expenses can be used to show they have many problems other than coyotes. Failure to prove health care expenses can be used to show they have a lax attitude regarding herd health. just my :2cents: as to finding a weak spot in their livestock practices. [/QUOTE]
