[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 693678, member: 8265"] Interesting that many think knowledge will allow you to spot problems. Years ago I was asking a family friend with a feedlot why he was giving cortisone shots in the throat to some steers he'd been treating for pneumonia, becoming chronic (cortisone suppresses immunity). He finally admitted he was making them look better temporarily while he was taking them to the sale. This guy was my church leader as a youth. I've read here of people who buy a "fence crawler" and swear they acted fine in the sale ring. Then it is recommended here to "ship her". To where? Wasn't recommended to mark as kill only. Guess if you can be fooled, you can fool the next guy. With this heavy use of antibiotics, I wonder how long they will work. Bacteria become resistant to them, as happened with penicillin, etc. I was talking to a young man yesterday who does cultures of infections in the hospital. I asked him which bug he finds most, and his answer was MRSA (methicillin resistant staph. aureus, methicillin is a type of penicillin). Nasty bug that now likes to kill people. Alot of bugs are shared twixt people and animals so animal antibiotic use can affect humans. My thinking is if your practices make antibiotics routinely necessary, there is something wrong. Also gives PETA more ammo. [/QUOTE]
