[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 60849, member: 173"] Jeanne.. it was the same way when we lived in northern Illinois.. none of the vets had working facilities, they always came to your place. Since we were in a dairy area, everyone had barns with staunchions, pens, etc. When we moved to Texas, it freaked me out that the vets didn't make "house calls" and they wanted you to haul them in! In regards to what vets charge.. I think we have to keep in mind that horses and small animals are more lucrative mostly because the animals are "pets" and owners don't mind spending more $$ on their care and health problems, whereas with cattle, many producers just ship the animal rather than spend the $$ on a vet call. If the vets charged as much as its worth for them to work on large meat animals, they probably wouldn't have many cases. I give them a LOT of credit and respect.. it's sometimes a thankless and depressing job. [/QUOTE]
