[QUOTE="Stepper, post: 205895, member: 3398"] This vet does have a bad reputation here. There are only two vets here. And the best one of the two is always tied up. I tried to call the good vet the night the first heifer was having trouble. But i only got an answering machine that said he did not take emergency call's on Wednseday's. He works the sale barn on Thursday's so i guess he takes Wednseday off. The heifer that they had to cut the calf out of yesterday was probably alot of my neighbor's fault for waiting so long to call a vet to begin with. He found her at about 10 a.m. and did not try calling a vet until 5 p.m. He said the feet was out at 10 a.m. and he thought everything was going to be alright. You know when i first started coming to this site i took offense by the way some of the seasoned cattlemen talked down to people who is new to getting into the cattle bussiness. But after reading some of the post by newbie's and what has happened with my neighbor's heifer's. I can see why they feel the way they do. I myself am new to the cattle bussiness and can see that i needed to do things alot different than the way i am doing them. By that i mean i should have got with someone who new what they were doing and learned about how to take care of cattle before i got them. But i have owned, broke and trained horse's for alot of year's now and did not think there would be that much difference in cattle and horse's. But i have learned there is a world of difference. Alot of people like my neighbor (myself included) has no intention's of doing harm to these animal's when they buy them. But they unknowingly do harm to them by just not knowing how to take proper care of them. [/QUOTE]
