[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1539376, member: 24027"] Call me lucky!! Two large animal vets at our local hospital. It's as clean as possible but sometimes it's hard when their clients are trailer-to-trailer. That said, when we take ours in and there's someone before &/or after, everyone pitches in & helps with the animals, hosing down the facility/chute, etc. Both will make ranch calls, even in the middle of the night. Dr Kip had polio as a child & sometimes it's hard for him to get around but he's gone down in a draw to work one of my down cows & Dr John has worked quite a few of our cows in the barn by simply haltering them even though we have a chute right there. Granted, my cows are very docile but when they need medical attention all bets are off - you just never know. Having said that, Rod your point is extremely valid! The equivalent of sending your kids to school without their vaccinations. Hosing down the chute/working area of the clinic in between animals certainly helps but obviously isn't completely sanitized and isn't logistical so having your herd fully vaccinated, especially if you're transporting anywhere off the property, is just common sense.
