I have been in contact with supposedly "THE Cow Vet" in our area. He comes highly recommended and regarded from reputable outfits around my area. I am excited to possibly develop a relationship with him, so maybe I can get some help at some high stress time in the future from a guy that actually likes helping cattle instead of sitting around the office looking up a cats ass.
I had originally talked with him about trimming a cows feet. I got to thinking about it, and since I have not worked my cattle yet, decided to do it all the same day and have him do it all. Vaccinate, cut two babies, trim feet that need it, worm, the whole deal. He can see what I'm working with, what I've been doing,etc. I called the office today and left that info, and asked the girl to pass it on that I wanted him to re evaluate my vaccination protocol and mineral/fly control program. If you all have switched vets before, or are a vet, do you think this would be a good first step, or does it really make much of a difference?
