[QUOTE="J+ Cattle, post: 1704109, member: 4063"] I have one that is close to my operation, within 5 miles, but past experience by me and other cattle raisers in the area says they aren't much help in an emergency. They are a good place to take heifers for their Bangs vaccine but not much else. The vets in that practice I don't think have enough real world experience with large animals or in emergency situations. They showed up unprepared and didn't have the equipment needed to repair a prolapsed uterus. A vet tech went back to the office to look for the tools needed and couldn't find them. I won't go into details about the outcome but needless to say it wasn't good. There's another place about 30 miles away that I've had a better experience with, the older vet in charge of the practice is very experienced with large animals and has helped the younger ones by working with them to pass on his knowledge and experience. If I need more than just medicine I know which one I'm calling. [/QUOTE]
