[QUOTE="ArrowHBrand, post: 447369, member: 6496"] Yes up around here large animal vets are hard to find. For the everyday type things we get an older gentleman six miles away to do it. For more serious things like gelding a horse or if we need to calfhood all of our heifers we get our trusted vet 40 miles away to come. He is out of a clinic that has about 8 total vets and there is one we will absolutely not have do any work for any of our animals. He's only a few years out of vet school and he was working on a horse for us, we couldn't get her bred. He wanted to do a $200 procedure first instead of us spending $50 on a swab and culture. Uh we chose the swab and culture, and you know what, it didn't turn out to be what he had thought. He also told us one of our dogs was fat and we should only give her 1/2 a cup of food a day. I don't think so. My wife got her Bachelors in Animal Science and minor in Ag Business and I tried to get her to apply to vet school, but she said she was tired of school already and was ready to get on with our lives. Oh well, she likes her job now and that's all that matters. [/QUOTE]
