At the vet clinic I've always used, the owner no longer does large animals and he's getting close to retiring but had 2 other vets that did both small/large animals. The vet I usually worked with recently accepted a pretty sweet job with Zoetis and that left the other one swamped, especially now that most of the county is calving. They ended up sending out a letter stating that the remaining large animal vet will only be available every other weekend, only certain days of the week and the majority of farm calls will be emergencies only.
We've had weekend/after hour emergencies, but I get that they also have (need!) a life and time off.
