[QUOTE="nemecekj, post: 98878, member: 1922"] I can't believe it you guys...The vet kept asking Dad "How much is he worth?" Throughout the exam. Dad told him he doesn't know, but he figures a good bit because the bull is a registered Angus... We don't know much about how much they are worth, because we rarely sell... we just breed them and keep them. Anyway, When the vet heard he was a registered Angus he said, "Oh, cause I was gonna tell you to take him to the sale barn and try to get a nickel for him." Can you beleive that? So now that yet another vet has no clue, and is ready to give up on him, so are my parents! When I work at a university whose vet hospital is absolutely top notch, deals a lot in cattle, and would only charge $65 to do the exam, ultrasound, and cytology on it! Yeah, it would cost more for treatment, butyou can't treat it if you don't knowwhat it is in the first place!This is crazy and I know it's killing dad... that's the thing... if we don't get them sold as soon as they are weaned, they never leave... we get way too attached... and now he's gonna give up on him! Yeah right! What if it is genetic... He (the vet) thinks it might be, and while he has several ideas... If he is actually right about one, half the heard might die from it since allmost all of them are his offspring! So I'm rambling... I guess my question is... what would you do? [/QUOTE]
