[QUOTE="GMN, post: 447630, member: 2382"] This reminds me of a thing that happened a few months back. One of our Vets came out with a student intern, a young girl, who swore she wanted to be a large animal vet. The reason for the visit was a dead calf inside of a dairy cow, that had to be pulled out. I will never forget the look on that students face when the calf came out, thankfully in 1 piece, I thought she was going to faint, she got real green and said she wasn't feeling that good. Valerie the lady Vet, and me just kind of exchanged looks. Later in hte week Valerie was out again for the same cow, and she said she wasn't too sure if the student had what it took to work on large animals. One of the Vets just retired, my fave Vet, a true large animal Vet, loved the animals and the work, I really miss him. I think the clinic we use will continue to do large animals, but I know they make easy money with the small animals. lets face it, us farmers are tightwads, whereas a dog, cat, etc.. owner is more than willing to spend money to make their pet well again, and I know the work involved with large animals is more strenuous, it takes physical strength to manhandle these cows sometimes, and its definetely not a job for someone who wants a easy way to make a living.
